Manchester Central is New Hampshire’s largest and oldest public high school, and its most diverse. Refugee and immigrant teenagers from nearly 70 countries attend classes at Central.
This week NHPR is presenting Culture Lessons - a series of reports and special programs about the school.
There are hundreds of kids at Central from Latin America and the Spanish-speaking islands of the Caribbean. Unlike refugees, who are sponsored by resettlement agencies, most Latinos are immigrants who arrived in Manchester on their own. As John Rudolph reports, Latino students at Central High School face a unique set of challenges.
