posted on June 27, 2009 at 01:03:10 pm
HAMPSTEAD – Despite a roster filled with some very young and some very new faces intermingled with a few returning Topsail High School varsity players, the early schedule for the Hampstead Post 167 Junior American Legion baseball team has produced some positive – and promising – results against some very stiff competition.

By Gareth McGrath Gareth.McGrath@StarNewsOnline.Com It might say “Home of the Wildcats” on the outside of Legion Stadium. But some of New Hanover High School’s sports teams are feeling less than welcome at the stadium complex along Carolina Beach Road.

Hanover High School is the only public high school in the Dresden School District, in Hanover, New Hampshire, USA. In 1963 it became the first interstate high school in the country as part of a bill that was the last ever signed into action by John F. Kennedy. Today it accepts students from several communities in New Hampshire and Vermont.
The majority of whom come from the towns of Hanover, NH and Norwich, VT. The school also serves the town of Lyme, NH, which has no high school of its own. 11% of the student body attends on a tuition basis from towns such as Cornish, NH, Strafford, VT, and Piermont, NH.
Academics: It is accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges, and 89% of students are accepted to or are planning to attend college shortly after graduating.
The academic program is divided into the traditional five departments: English, Math, Science, Foreign Language, and Social Studies. Each department offers a selection of courses, however all freshmen must take a standard set of courses. As students advance, additional opportunities become available. The school's curriculum and policies emphasize individual student freedoms. For example, seniors often elect to design and complete an independent study project that academically explores a personal interest. With Dartmouth College a short walk from the school, some students attend courses at the college when they have exhausted the high school's offerings.
The academic atmosphere is generally student-centric, with off-campus privileges widely available and with a council of students, faculty, and community members (founded in 1974) whose governing power extends in many areas beyond that of even the school principal.
Extracurricular and Elective Activities: Hanover has a very comprehensive athletics program, with players competing at both the Varsity and Junior Varsity levels. The list of sports is as follows: Baseball, Basketball, Crew, Field Hockey, Football, Golf, Ice Hockey, Lacrosse, Soccer, Softball, Tennis, Track, Volleyball, Cross Country Running, and Cross Country Skiing. The physical education program also has an extensive ropes course and a climbing wall. Athletics are a major component of the student culture.
Furthermore, the school boasts a large number of music ensembles (both official and student-run), publications, community service organizations, official and student-organized drama and musical theatre groups, debate team, and a quiz bowl team that has in recent years won both New Hampshire and Vermont state championships.
