CURRICULUM

Hanover Area is a comprehensive K-12 school district. The district offers basic and advanced placement courses in several subject areas. With the cooperation of the Wilkes-Barre Area Vocational-Technical School (WBAVTS), the district offers vocational training in building trades, power mechanics, food service, cosmetology and data processing. The curricular offerings at Hanover Area Jr./Sr. High School have been designed to provide a strong core of skills, enhanced by electives oriented towards personal interests and career goals. The district's goal is to prepare our students for post-secondary experiences, whether in further education, the armed forces or as a member of the work force.

TRANSPORTATION

Thirty school buses, owned and operated by Churnetski Transportation, transport elementary students who live beyond 1.5 miles, and secondary students who live beyond 2 miles. Other students may qualify for busing because they live along routes declared hazardous by the PA Department of Transportation.
