My experience at Hanover Park High School has been amazing. My school is accommodating, interactive, and safe. I have enjoyed my time here very much, if there would be one thing I could change it would be the campus design because there are often problems with flooding and weather.

Hanover Park gave me a fairly good education and set up for college, but I think there could be a more diverse faculty and more focus on education and getting us prepared for the real world.
