Principal's Weekly
January 17, 2020
 
 
Dear Hanover High School Community,
 
Incredibly the first semester is complete.  I’m proud of the hard work our students and staff have accomplished together in the last few months.  And, I look forward to continuing to learn and grow together throughout the second half of the school year.  
 
HHS will celebrate the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. this coming Friday with an all-school event.  We will have several members of the Dartmouth community speak to us and field our questions on the topics of race, diversity and equity.  I look forward to this shared experience that will cause us all to think deeply about ourselves and our community.
 
Wishing you a restful weekend,
 
Justin M. Campbell
Principal
Hanover High School

Senior Parents!

 
The yearbook has several features specifically for seniors:
  • Parent Ads: Go to Picaboo to purchase and design your parent ad. Parent ads go at the end of the yearbook and are a message you send to your child or to the class of 2020. Learn about purchasing and designing your ad. 
  • Senior Photos: The yearbook uses student ID photos, but seniors can submit an alternative photo. The photo does not have to be a professional photo. Send alternative senior photos to: jessica.eakin@hanovernorwichschools.org
  • Senior Sections: Every senior gets a third of a page to design. Seniors will learn more about creating their senior section at a class meeting in November. Students are responsible for creating their senior sections. 

We are still in need of host families for the New England Music Festival-being hosted at Hanover High School March 19-21. Please email our housing chair Bettina Read at 2020nemfahousing@gmail.com  if you can host 2 students for their stay!

Items needed for March Intensive

Do you have fleece, blankets, and/or flannel sheets  (full size or larger) that you no longer need?

You may drop items off at the high school or contact Jeanine King (jeanine.king@dresden.us) to arrange for pick up.
