Hanover School District 28

What Hanover School District 28 does

Hanover School District 28 is a Colorado K-12 public school district operating two physical campuses — Hanover Elementary School and Hanover Junior-Senior High School — in the Colorado Springs area. The district provides free public education to students from kindergarten through 12th grade residing within its geographic boundaries, plus out-of-district students admitted via choice permits renewed annually. Its core academic offering is augmented by a broad wraparound service stack: athletics governed by CHSSA, concurrent enrollment for college credit, special education, English language development, assistive technology, nursing, nutrition (with free/reduced eligibility), transportation, and a multi-program Social Emotional Curriculum (Generation Schools Network, Capturing Kids' Hearts, Why Try, Restorative Justice, PBIS, and others). The district is also a McKinney-Vento service provider for students experiencing housing instability.

The underlying technology stack is composed entirely of third-party SaaS rather than proprietary systems: a Student Information System currently being migrated from Alma to Infinite Campus; ParentSquare for mass parent communications (scheduled for discontinuation June 30); Finalsite for the public website (hanoverhornets.org); Google Drive/Docs for document management; Zoom for Board and DAC meetings; MaxPreps for athletic statistics; and School View Data Center for CDE accountability reporting. The district also operates S-CAP (Student-Centered Accountability Program), a cross-district accountability framework established in 2015.

As a government state entity, Hanover is not a commercial enterprise; it is funded through state aid, local property taxes, and federal programs, with no commercial pricing model and no revenue in the conventional sense. Governance is provided by an elected five-member Board of Education (President TJ Lippert, Vice President Robynn Diaz, Treasurer Kenny Burk, Secretary Samantha Meldon, Director Louise Barnes), with Mark McPherson serving as Superintendent and Title IX Coordinator. The district is currently mid-execution on a $13.3 million new Elementary School facility (construction June 2025 to June 2026, move-in August 2026), and is operating under a publicly disclosed governance continuity issue following the November 18, 2025 cancellation of an election due to no candidates filing, which created two board vacancies.
