Hanover Central High School

Both my children attend Hanover Central. We moved here from Ilinois many years ago. They were both at the elementary, middle school and now High School. I can say, they both love it! The staff is awesome, helpful and everyone gets along with everyone. There is very little if any crime here. Its is a small school but the attention is focused on the students. I am very happy I chose this district to live in for my children rather than other high schools with lots of drug and crime and over the student limit in classes. Any neg feedback on this is that of parents that are picky. Would you rather have your child in a over crowded school with a crime rate that is high and drugs are everywhere? . GO WILDCATS!

It is the school my daughter attends. It is still a smaller school & it is possible to know each other personally. Hanover has wonderful, over worked & under paid teachers.

I am a parent of four children, two go to Hanover Central. One is in the middle school the other in high school. I could not ask for a better school for my children. The teachers are the best that I have EVER ran across!

I love this school. I highly recommend it. My son entered during his freshman year and felt very 'at home'. We moved from another stat and this school made that process alot easier for my child. Love the teachers, the curriculm, etc.

As a previous graduate-I think it should be made known that Hanover Central is being inaccurately represented by the parents. I have seen it all first hand, while there are some quality teachers there, most are not, and with the budget cuts we are going to start losing the success rate we have. There's a problem that needs fixed with the administration to get everything back on track, even with Dr. Livovich gone. If your don't want to trust me, go to Cedar Lake and ask people about the schools, they will give you an ear full.

I recently graduated from Hanover Central in June of 2008. I feel obligated to inform you I graduated with the lowest GPA possible of a graduate, and with the fewest days of attendance of any student without a medical excuse. To be honest this was a personal goal of mine, I had(and still have) the intelligence to get around their rules and adopt my own schedule. Other students have not been able to mimic my success, rather they just disregard learning sessions, classwork, and tests altogether eventually failing the class or dropping out altogether. Instead of working to fix this growing problem with students, however, they offer a program referred to as Alt-school by students who go there. It is hosted by the Lowell school-system, and it is generally intended for aggressive students, social pariah's, and pregnant teenagers. It's really sad that I'm limited to 150 words and still there's more.

The schools were great until Dr. Livovich took over and everything went downhill. Mr. Fetty was the only good principal that the school has had. I don't think that Mr. McRae or Mr. Dillon are very good principals at all and aren't really concerned about anything but money. The education is going downhill and all they care about is building more stuff. How about paying off the $500,00 debt. The construction in 2005 was ridiculous and a waste of money. Both schools look like 1st graders built them. The schools aren't really concerned about the well being about the students seeing as they rarely even sweep the classrooms. The locker rooms are way too crowded and filthy. And in case you were wondering I'm not some terrible student mad at the school for getting me in trouble, I'm an honor student who has never even gotten a detention, ever.

As a student here, i think that this school is very dissapointing. We dont have very many extra curricular activities, our school only teaches 2 languages spanish and french, they almost got rid of the french teacher this year. Now with the only thing good this school had[mr.Fetty] is gone. This school is definately not a place i want to graduate from.
