Hanover Schools

It was a fun and silly 67th day of school 🙃🫠 Lots of 6-7 themed assignments today as we wrote, counted, and made up our own stories.

Last week, Jericho Taylor, RN BSN, came to talk to students interested in healthcare. She serves as the Community Healthcare Recruiter for Vital Connections. In her role, Jericho is focused on growing the healthcare workforce throughout the Kansas communities we call home. Vital Connections is a regional workforce initiative powered by Meadowlark that aims to grow the next generation of healthcare professionals across our community and surrounding rural areas.

Students are welcome to reach out to her for a one-on-one visit that can be done at the school or at her office. She can help walk you and your student through what they need to know to jump start their healthcare career. She can be reached at (785) 537-4610 or by email

This semester is flying by — so proud of our students for their work on state testing, attendance improvements, positive school culture & climate, athletic achievements, and more.

Counseling lessons centered on gratitude and thankfulness this month. We discussed how each student brings something great to our class! As a class we brainstormed what we wanted to write for each person. It was fun to hear all the amazing attributes our students came up with about each other.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!! The HHS Art Club has joined forces with FBLA to add some holiday spirit to our business district in preparation for our Holidays in Hanover celebration!

Join us in celebrating our football team before Thanksgiving Break!

Is your child looking for community service ideas?! They can check out the "Help Wanted" board at school. Lots of great events going on that need some extra hands. Contact Christy Steinfort at csteinfort@usd223.org for more information.

As part of HHS FBLA's collaboration with The Farmer's Daughter and The City of Hanover to create a new Hanover Christmas tradition, the HHS Art Club will be working with businesses to help them create festive window displays to showcase their business this holiday season.

Have a great week Wildcats!

Coach Lohse, is our long‑time PE teacher who’s spent years helping students build confidence, teamwork, and healthy habits. From energetic warmups to unforgettable field days, Coach brings enthusiasm, patience, and laughs to each class. Mr. Lohse encourages his students to do their best and have fun! Thank you Coach for teaching our students the importance of physical activity.

Yesterday our Juniors and Seniors traveled to Linn to participate in the REALL Simulation hosted by NEK‑CAP. The REALL (Reality Enrichment And Life Lessons) project is a hands‑on simulation for students in grades 7-12 that challenges them to think critically about how adolescent choices and decisions can have real consequences in adulthood.

Several key concepts are:
-Identify components and sources of income
-Analyze how career choice, education, skills, and economic conditions affect income and goal attainment
-Relate taxes, government transfer payments, and employee benefits to disposable income
-Explain how financial resources affect the choices people make

Students spent the morning applying these ideas — budgeting for utilities, discovering the high cost of daycare (and experiencing the stress of missed pickups), responding to eviction notices when rent wasn’t paid, and even facing simulated jail time for some. The experience offered powerful, practical lessons about financial responsibility and long‑term planning.

A big thank you to NEK‑CAP for this experience and to our volunteers for helping put on the event.

Good luck to our JH basketball teams as they take on Centralia with games starting at 4:30! B girls, B boys, A girls, A boy Good luck !
