Overall, Hanover High School is very good. The athletics are great, and many students participate in them. The arts at Hanover high are good, and there is a fall and spring preformance each year. The band and chorus programs are amazing, and overall everyone at Hanover finds something that they are interested in. Hanover offers many AP Classes, and it's harder to find better academics anywhere else.
