"A Community that Inspires Excellence!" The district serves the children of Whippany and Cedar Knolls across four schools, with an enrollment of about 1,260 students. Bee Meadow School, S

alem Drive School, and Mountview Road School each serve students from kindergarten through fifth grade. Memorial Junior School brings every sixth, seventh, and eighth grader together as the district's middle school. By the time students leave Memorial, they enter high school knowing their full class. Our mission is to prepare students to live, learn, and lead in a global society. Our tagline, A Community That Inspires Excellence, reflects how we get there. Teachers know every child by name. Academic standards run high in every grade. Families, staff, and the township shape the district together. The district is rooted in one of New Jersey's oldest communities. New Englanders settled the Whippany River area in 1685, and Hanover Township took its name in 1720. The township became one of the founding municipalities of Morris County in 1739, and the New Jersey Legislature formally established Hanover Township in 1798. Our schools carry that history forward for the students of today. Our 2026 to 2031 strategic plan sets five long-range goals. Provide a safe environment that promotes academic growth, risk taking, and student wellness. Improve student achievement by strengthening instructional practices, systems, and supports. Increase consistent practices, programs, and communication across the district. Integrate service learning to build community and pride in our schools. Create and maintain healthy, secure facilities that support learning. Hanover Township Public Schools is led by Superintendent Justin Toomey and a nine-member Board of Education. The central office sits at 61 Highland Avenue in Whippany. To learn more, contact us at (973) 515-2400 or visit htboe.org. Hanover Township Public Schools. A Community That Inspires Excellence.

One last hooray before school ended!

Our 8th grade students recently enjoyed a memorable class trip to Frogbridge Day Camp as they celebrated the end of their middle school experience. Students spent the day taking advantage of a variety of activities, including batting cages, miniature golf, boating on the lake, basketball, and swimming in the pool.

With temperatures soaring into the 90s, the pool and unlimited icy slushies were especially popular. Students also enjoyed an all-you-can-eat lunch featuring hamburgers, hot dogs, and other favorites. The trip provided a fun and well-deserved opportunity for students to relax, make memories, and enjoy time with their classmates before moving on to high school.
