Teachers and Coaches are great. Budget counts have increased courses. AP and honors classes are well registered and allow students more personal teaching.
4.0 Sophomore

As a sophomore with a strong desire to learn, Hanover High school does a great job in supporting me through my high school journey. There are so many different course types and levels and the teachers are supportive yet challenging while still helping you succeed. There are so many different clubs and so many opportunities to get involved with the school. Although I don't participate in many sports, our teams are very successful and many have made it to the state championships these past 5 years. We could definitely improve our school spirit and policies but overall a great High School.
