Welcome to Hanover-Horton Elementary

A Great Place to Learn

     Welcome, a feeling we want everyone to have as they walk through the doors at Hanover-Horton Elementary. The building is not only inviting, but also strives to provide a positive environment conducive to learning.

    The elementary building, which opened in 1997, is located in the village of Hanover. Currently we house kindergarten through fifth grade, kindergarten is an all day, everyday program, which we started last year. Approximately 570 students are enrolled and are instructed by a professional staff of 31. In addition to the core content areas of English language arts, math, science and social studies, students also receive physical education, art, music, library, Spanish and character education. The district also receives federal funding, which allows us to offer Title I services for students who need additional assistance.

    In 2005-2006, the elementary received the Transitions Endorsement from North Central Accreditation. The school’s focus was not only to ensure a smooth transition to middle school, but from grade to grade as well. A database of information was used to collect academic information on each student, and continues to be used today to monitor student progress. The elementary was one of 24 schools out of NCA’s 19 state regions that received this highest level of recognition. The elementary also continues to make adequate yearly progress (AYP) in ELA and math, and has obtained four A’s and one B on its school report card.

    Parental involvement is very high at the elementary, and what a difference that makes in their child’s education. Besides working in the classroom, chaperoning field trips, attending after school functions and volunteering with the PTA, our building averages over 95% attendance for student conferences. With the dedicated staff and the tremendous support received from parents and the community, the elementary will continue to experience success with its students!

    An open invitation is extended to you. Come and see the quality education your child can receive. By making a fresh start with Hanover-Horton Elementary you will see the difference.
