SPRING SPORTS - LAST CHANCE TO REGISTER 

Spring sports registration is now open through FinalForms.  If your student plans to play a spring  sport, please register as soon as possible. Spring sports begin their seasons in mid-March.  Registration is open until March 1.  

If your student is playing a winter sport or already registered on FinalForms, simply log into your parent FinalForms account, choose the spring sport, make sure all the information is up-to-date and pay the registration fee.  If you have not used FinalForms (new athletic registration system as of Fall 2022), you will need to set up an account to register your student.  More detailed information on registration and spring sports can be found at Hanover High School Spring Sports Information.

His leadership skills extend beyond the tech world: as a Captain in the U.S. Army and a US Army Ranger, he led infantry units in Afghanistan and received awards for combat leadership. He has also contributed to the finance sector, creating advanced trading algorithms at firms such as Goldman Sachs, Lehman Brothers, and Susquehanna International.

Senior Families Future Planning to-dos

 

Keep Submitting your Applications.

Complete the FAFSA. 

The 2025-2026 FAFSA is now open, and FREE professional help is available to complete it.

Apply for scholarships.

Keep SCOIR Updated.

  • Keep the “My College” section current! Ensure that colleges are correctly sorted into “applying” or “applied. This is how counselors continue to know where to send your application materials.

Send Official Test Scores Through CollegeBoard or ACT (if applicable).

  • If students are applying anywhere that requires official test scores, they will need to send official results from CollegeBoard or ACT directly to a given college. This can be done electronically through the links above.  

Monitor Each Individual College Application Portal.

  • Every college to which students apply will provide them with a login to set up an applicant portal. Create that applicant portal! This is how students will receive updates from their schools (including admissions decisions!) and schools may also request additional information. Let your counselor know if any documents are appearing in your portals as missing.
