Below from the March Intensive Committee. We are in the middle of Junior/Senior sign ups.
Dear Hanover High School Community:
The March Intensive Committee is delighted to present the 2026 March Intensive Program of Studies. For 18 years, March Intensive has uniquely broadened the HHS curriculum, strengthened connections within our school and the wider community, and provided a stress-free learning environment for students to explore new passions and pursuits. Whether you aspire to explore a future career, engage in service locally or abroad, connect with nature and develop outdoor skills, build with your hands, or connect with cultures across the globe, March Intensive offers a wealth of unique opportunities for students. This year March Intensive will run from March 17-20, 2026.
On Thursday morning, 11th and 12th graders will receive a separate email containing a link to the March Intensive registration form. We kindly request that all 11th and 12th graders complete their course preference registration forms by noon on Monday November 3.
On the afternoon of November 5, once all 11th and 12th graders have been placed, we will update the Program of Studies with courses still available for 9th and 10th graders. 9th and 10th graders will receive a separate email once their registration window opens and will have until noon on November 10th to make their selections.
While most courses do not incur any costs for students, fees are associated with some. We are committed to ensuring that every course is accessible to all students and have set aside a limited amount of financial aid to support students in families facing financial hardship. The application for financial aid can be submitted after course placements have been announced in mid-November. The March Intensive Committee was honored that the Class of 2025 chose our scholarship fund as the recipient of their class gift. Their gift speaks volumes about the degree to which students value these experiences and the importance of making the March Intensive program accessible to all students.
All students are expected to participate in March Intensive. This participation is recorded on official school transcripts. Students who do not participate will be placed at the back of their class year in the MI course lottery the following year. However, the most significant consequence would be missing out on the incredible courses and the strong sense of community and camaraderie that forms when small groups of staff and students explore a topic of shared interest.
We are confident that March Intensive will once again be a highlight of the year for our school community.
School News and Information
Winter Sports - Last Day to Register
Winter sports registration is open through FinalForms. If your student plans to play a winter sport, Saturday, 11/1 is the last day to register. Winter sports begin their seasons in mid- November.
If your student is playing a fall sport or already registered on FinalForms, simply log into your parent FinalForms account, choose the winter sport, make sure all the information is up-to-date and pay the registration fee. If you have not used FinalForms, you will need to set up an account to register your student. More detailed information on registration and winter sports can be found at Hanover High School Winter Sports Information.

Nordic Skiing Development Team: A Gentle Introduction to Winter Adventure
Parents, if your student is hesitant about diving into a full winter sport, the HHS Nordic Skiing Development Team could be the perfect low-key entry point. With just 2-3 practices a week, it's an easy way for them to discover the thrill of fresh snow and Hanover's breathtaking trails - think gliding smoothly across sparkling powder, building friendships, and rediscovering the joy of winter in a fun, invigorating way.
No prior experience is needed; whether your child is a complete beginner or simply curious, they'll feel right at home. This program offers less commitment than competitive teams, focusing instead on pure enjoyment, fitness, and skill-building without any pressure to race. It's all about the snow, the camaraderie, and the simple delight of being outdoors.

Hanover High School Upper Valley Community Survey!
Hello and thank you so much for taking our survey! This is being conducted by the Hanover High School Data Science Class.

We are specifically looking at comparisons between the American Community Survey, which is administered yearly by the US Census Bureau across all American Communities, and data that we collect about our beautiful Upper Valley Community regarding the same topics.

When answering, please do not include any special characters or commas. (There is actually data validation that won't let you proceed if you do!)

This survey is completely anonymous and will be used in our group projects to compare against state data so we can identify needs within our community. Thanks!
