Manchester, New Hampshire is an official relocation center for immigrants and refugees from all over the world. In recent years, the city has seen an influx of international refugees, some of which have been living in refugee camps for years. Manchester Central High School ends up absorbing these international students, resulting in a very diverse student body. Over 60 different languages are spoken in the classrooms, hallways and sports fields of Manchester Central. In 2006, independent producer John Rudolph joined with New Hampshire Public Radio to look at Manchester Central High School, the oldest and most diverse high school in New Hampshire.
