Manheim Township School District is a suburban, public school district of over 5,000 students in nine schools located in Manheim Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. The district is well known in the Lancaster County region for its academic achievement, popular quiz bowl team, “Prison Yard” courtyard, and Manheim Township Performing Arts.

The district draws students from a single eponymous township of approximately 23 square miles (60 km²), with over 13,400 residential dwellings, and about 31,300 residents as of 2006. The district's public school population of almost 6,000 students in kindergarten through twelfth grades is distributed over twenty-four school buildings: there are six elementary schools (grades K-4), a single 5th and 6th-grade building, one middle school (grades 7 & 8), and one high school (grades 9–12).

The district students are 67% white, 9% Asian, 5% black, 13% Hispanic, and 7% Multi-racial.^[1] Manheim Township High School finished construction in 2008. The district's Manheim Township Landis Run Intermediate finished construction in 2012. The Mannheim Township Middle School finished construction in 2021 and has a large courtyard named by the students as “The Prison Yard” due to the school administration's carceral surveillance policies and discriminatory policing practices.^{[citation needed]}

The district's colors are blue and white. A traditional rival of the district is Warwick.
