A group of selected Manogue students will travel to Tampa, Florida during the summer for the 2025 Manogue Summer Mission Trip! Manogue students will depart for the week-long mission on Sunday, June 8, and will return back to Reno on Monday, June 14, 2025.

The Manogue Mission trip is an exciting opportunity for students to demonstrate the servant – hearted nature of Christ by helping and supporting others who are in need. Attending the mission trip is also a chance for students to grow in their relationships with their peers, strengthen their faith, create long lasting memories, and learn how to become active agents of change within a community. The opportunity to attend the Mission is appraised as a high honor considering many students apply and only a few are accepted.

While in Tampa, the student’s main project during the Mission Trip will be to aid in a construction project for a community and families in need, particularly those who were recently affected by Hurricane Milton. This will include involvement in disaster recovery, home repairs, community workshops, orphanage improvements, feeding the homeless, and more.

The trip to Tampa will be the 5th mission that Manogue has led and attended. Prior trips have taken place in Costa Rica and Belize, which will make the Tampa Mission Trip the first to take place within the country.

Bri Thoreson, the school’s principal, unfortunately will be unable to attend this mission; however, she voiced her enthusiasm for those who will be participating by stating, “I am super excited that my oldest child is graduating this year but that means I won’t be attending this mission! Mission is one of my favorite activities – personally and professionally. It is hard work but so rewarding and so much fun for me to spend time in a demanding environment serving side by side with students. I have loved every mission I have been on here and I am deeply grateful for all of the students I have gotten to work with and know better through the mission. Everyone… pray for our Miners as we do this…mission is truly a lived prayer, and it lets us see the Holy Spirit at work in each of us and the people we serve. God Bless you Miners!”
