History

1978 A devastating earthquake shook the city, affecting Mandoulides Schools and its newly laid foundations. But the foundations were deep and the vision of Evangelos Mantoulidis continued undeterred. The concept of nurturing students in a European dimension through a universal perspective, a concept demanding daring and virtue, discipline and toil, progressed virtually uninhibited.
1991 The vision expanded. Needing space to grow, the Junior and Senior High Schools were built at a location apart from the secondary school. Still, the tireless founder looked higher. Not easily satisfied, he challenged himself to seek taller summits and greater adventures in education.
1998 The School celebrated twenty years in educational service holding the event in it new super-modern Cultural and Athletics Center. Doors to the world's greatest universities opened to Mandoulides students; Eva Tsoukalidou was accepted to Harvard. Today, Mandoulides graduates can be found in classrooms in top universities and colleges across the USA and Great Britain. In any given year Mandoulides graduates are attending such schools as Harvard,Stanford, Yale, Princeton, Caltech, MIT,Duke and others in the USA. In Great Britain, MHS students have gained acceptance to Cambridge, Oxford and Imperial, while at the same time, graduates are accepted with top honors into Greek universities. Alexandros Karentzos in Medical School, Basiliki in Law and Haris Karasiotis in the Polytechnical University each entered with the highest honors given to Greek students.
1999 Mr. Mantoulidis had a particular goal set for athletics. Adhering to the ancient Greek quote: "A healthy mind leads to a healthy body", he endeavoured to realize a childhood dream. In five separate seasons Mandoulides Schools have captured national Basketball championships: 1991, 2000, 2005, 2006 and 2009. The 1999 team won the world title in Israel. Again on the world level, 2005 saw a second place finish in Poland and the 2009 team placed third in a international tournament held in Constantinoupolis, Turkey.
2001 Ioannis Tsoukalidis picked up the silver medal in the International computer Olympiad hosted by Finland. In 1998 and again in 2000 Ioannis was awarded the bronze medal in Portugal and China respectively.
2002 In 2002 the Kindergarten, Elementary school and Junior - Senior High School opened the Second School. The schools were opened as a consequence of increasing enrolment at Mandoulides.

2006 Christos Mantoulidis claimed the silver medal in the International Computer Olympiad held in Mexico. The following year he garnered the bronze medal in the same competition in Croatia.
2007 Evangelos Mantoulidis passed away unexpectedly in the Spring. To his family, faculty and staff, former and present students, friends and the educational community, he is still and will always be present. Evangelos Mantoulidis, by virtue of his hard work and experience, has given all those touched by him the best lesson in life by having been the best example in life. It is the nature of education for a teacher to give beyond himself for the benefit of the student. We are all eternally grateful to Mr. Mantoulidis for having done so.
2008 1978 - 2008: 30 years of education, commitment and service, full of memories and wonders. Two generations of students have now walked the school's corridors. It has been a wonderful journey and it continues on today and on into tomorrow... in pursuit of knowledge, success and personal development... as the students trace the footsteps put down by the school's founder.
