Hanover Highlands serves approximately 575 students kindergarten through sixth grade. We benefit from having a diverse population and are honored to be an International Spanish Academy. The English-Spanish Dual Language Program allows students to learn Spanish during social science and language arts classes. In addition, Hanover Highlands is also a District 54 site for the intellectual disabilities program.
We are a building that focuses on belonging. Our teachers work closely in professional learning communities that allow the staff to focus on students’ needs, instructional improvements, and best practices. We believe that our students can achieve high expectations and each student sets goals in both reading and math. Throughout the year we are constantly gauging how our students are working towards achieving that goal through data driven conversations with students, parents and staff members.
Every staff member at Hanover Highlands is dedicated to the success of our students. Our School Improvement Plan targets continual improvement of student achievement in reading and math while emphasizing high expectations in all instructional areas for all students. In addition to a rigorous core academic program each student is provided daily opportunities for academic enrichment based on his/her specific needs.
In addition to high expectations and behavioral standards, Hanover Highlands also offers the following students clubs:
Rocketry Club, Battle of The Books, Cheer, Husky Buddies, Choir, Instrumental Music (5th & 6th grade), Math Olympiads, GEMS, Student Ambassadors, Environmental Club, CODING Club, as well as many more!
The Hanover Highlands PTA is an active organization that works collaboratively with our school staff. The PTA seeks to provide activities for students during the day and for families in the evening. Our PTA supports the following our annual Trunk or Treat, PBIS Assemblies, School Store, Field Day, and Book Fairs.
