ELO Spring Showcase 2026 

Last week, Hanover High School hosted its first-ever Extended Learning Opportunities (ELO) Showcase, giving more than 50 student presenters the opportunity to share their learning, creativity, and growth with the school community. ELOs are student-driven, student-designed learning opportunities that represent a wide range of experiences, including independent research projects, learning assistant roles in the classroom, internships, career exploration, community service, and work-based learning. Students visited exhibits throughout the atrium and hallway, where they asked thoughtful questions about one another’s projects. Later that evening, parents and community members also had the opportunity to experience the showcase as part of the annual Art Show and MegaConcert. The event highlighted the hard work of our ELO students and created an exciting new tradition that celebrated authentic learning beyond the classroom.  You can learn more about ELOs at HHS by visiting https://hhs.sau70.org/learning/elo
