Victoria Manning

Victoria Manning was elected to the School Board in November 2016. Manning grew up on a small family farm in the Shenandoah Valley. She moved to Virginia Beach in 1992, paying her way through college and becoming the first in her family to earn a college degree—a Bachelor of Science in psychology from Old Dominion University. She began her professional career as a casualty insurance adjuster, then worked as a church administrator and managed her own business as a distance running coach. A longtime community volunteer, Manning has worked with Girls on the Run, the Boy Scouts and the United Way; created and directed youth fitness camps; and served as leader of Old Donation Center’s “Final Mile” running program. In 2015, she formed “Parents and Teachers for Accountability in Grading.” She is also passionate about special education, a cause close to her heart as she serves in a guardianship role for her uncle who has Down Syndrome. Her husband is a Naval Officer and she is proud to represent and support military families in their schools. She and her husband enjoy supporting their two sons in soccer, baseball, volleyball and wrestling. They are strong supporters of the local military community and are also active leaders in their church. She is an avid distance runner, having completed an ultra-marathon and many marathons.
