In May 2013, former President Barack Obama visited Manor New Tech High School[3] as part of his jobs and opportunity tour.
On October 29, 2024, Darrin Ray Loving, an 18 year-old black student who was disabled and attended special needs classes, was stabbed by another black student, 18 year-old Mac Brown Mbah Mbanwei, on the campus grounds of Manor Senior High School.
Mbanwei was booked into the Travis County Jail and charged with first-degree murder, with a bond of $1 million USD (United States Dollar).
The district's superintendent has declined to share details about Mbanwei or Loving's behavioral records due to federal privacy laws.
Mbanwei had a court hearing on November 18, during which, Judge Brandy Mueller, the presiding Judge of the 403rd Court District, ordered Mbanwei to be examined by an expert competency evaluator, to determine if the defendant is mentally competent to stand trial at this time.
