Hanover High School Council

Under the guidelines of The Education Reform Act of 1993, public schools must organize a school council to develop annual School Improvement Plans. A school council is a representative, school-building-based committee comprised of an administrator, parent/guardian representatives, teacher representatives, community representatives, and, at the secondary level, students.

At Hanover Public Schools, we believe that students, parent(s)/guardian(s), and our building-based teachers and administration make the best schools by being partners in planning, leadership, and development. With the exception of the community-at-large member who is appointed by the principal, the council members are elected and serve for a two-year term. The public is invited to attend all meetings. This is a great opportunity for parent(s)/guardian(s), teachers, and community members to enhance their involvement in decisions and initiatives.

Meeting Schedule

Meetings are held in person at Hanover High School, located at 287 Cedar Street, Hanover, MA 02339, at 4:00 pm, in the main office conference room.
