HTPS EXCELLENCE SPOTLIGHT
I hope you’ve been enjoying a safe, relaxing, and wonderful summer. It’s hard to believe, but we are just about a week away from welcoming back our staff and a little over a week away from greeting our students for the start of the 2025–2026 school year. The excitement is building, and our schools are almost ready to come alive again with learning and activity.
Getting ready for a new school year is truly a district-wide effort, and I want to extend my sincere thanks to the many people who make it possible. Our custodians and maintenance crews have worked tirelessly all summer to clean and prepare our buildings so they are safe, welcoming, and ready for students. Our secretaries, administrators, and central office staff have been busy behind the scenes finalizing countless details to ensure a smooth start. And, of course, our teachers have been back in their classrooms, setting up warm and engaging environments where students can learn, grow, and thrive.
I also want to acknowledge the launch of our new in-district lunch program, which is nearly ready to kick off, and the extensive planning and curriculum work that has been happening all summer long to set our students up for success. The effort, dedication, and pride shown by so many across our schools is what makes Hanover Township Public Schools truly special.
As we embrace our theme of “Aspire to Inspire Excellence," each of us—students, staff, families, and community members—has a role to play in shaping a school community where excellence is both achieved and inspired.
Thank you for your continued support and partnership. I look forward to an exciting and memorable year ahead as we officially kick off the 2025–2026 school year together next week!

This September, our district will begin an important strategic planning process to help shape our shared vision and priorities for the next five years. Having a clear, community-driven plan ensures that our goals, resources, and initiatives align with the evolving needs of our students and school community—both now and in the years to come.
This work will be collaborative and inclusive, with input from across our school community guiding the path forward. To support this effort, a core planning team will be formed, representing a broad cross-section of our community, including parents, teachers, administrators, and Board of Education members.
There will be an opportunity for some members of our community to be part of this core team; however, participation will be limited to ensure the group remains balanced and representative. We look forward to sharing more details about the process and ways for everyone to stay informed and involved as we work together to chart an exciting course for the future of Hanover Township Public Schools!
