The Hanover High School Unified basketball team made a powerful statement as they took on a team fielded by Student Council in a packed gym on Feb. 6. While the final score stood at Unified 79, StuCo 21, what counted more than the many, many (many) baskets made was the teamwork, sportsmanship, and friendship on display.
For the Unified team, top scorers were Danny Campbell, Bre Thomas, Jillian Richards, JJ Molina-Para, and Adel Mustafa-Rivera. Dom Castaldini and Maeve Patten showed determination as they made passes and grabbed rebounds. Molina-Para wowed the crowd with his 360-turns before sinking several baskets, and Richards’ countless steals from StuCo players were almost criminal.
The StuCo team kept their spirits high, with several members of HHS basketball teams making impressive shots. The atmosphere was festive thanks to the play-by-play of HHS senior Thomas Perkins, and the Hanover Hawk mascot rallying the crowd. Congratulations to players from both teams! Special thanks go out to Unified Sports organizers Ms. Mann and Ms. Gately, Athletic Director Scott Hutchison and all the fans in attendance.
The HHS Unified team will take part in a Jamboree at Abington High School on Feb. 12, playing teams from Abington and Carver high schools. We wish them best of luck!
Pioneered by Special Olympics, the goal of Unified Sports is to partner people with and without intellectual disabilities on the same team. By training and playing together, Unified teams promote inclusion, friendship and self esteem, according to the Special Olympics website. An estimated 19 million young people participate in Unified Sports nationwide.
Earning the rank of Eagle Scout is no small achievement: it requires years of dedication, leadership, and service. Five scouts from Hanover High School have gone above and beyond, using their projects to make a meaningful impact on our community. From improving accessibility and transportation to preserving local history, their efforts demonstrate the values of scouting and the lasting difference one individual can make.
According to EagleScout.org, the projects these high schoolers participate in must be challenging, valuable to the community, “demonstrate leadership of others and provide service to a worthy institution.” Eagle Scout is the highest rank a scout can achieve.
After seeing how many bikes were being thrown out at the Hanover transfer station, senior Gavin Hardy organized a bike drive for his Eagle Scout project. He collected about 100 bikes from the dump in one weekend, refurbished the bikes that could be saved and donated them to schools, veterans and families in need. Spare parts were sent to Cameroon, Africa. He credits Rich Bonanno, the founder of the Scituate-based nonprofit Rolling Wave Foundation, with helping him connect with organizations and individuals in need. Gavin’s project shows how a simple idea can bring mobility and independence to others.
Drew Keith’s journey to Eagle Scout has been lifelong, filled with challenges and memorable moments. Attending the National Jamboree in West Virginia stands out as a highlight, while navigating the extensive paperwork for his Eagle Scout project proved to be his greatest hurdle. An HHS junior, Drew built a bog board to replace an old one between the middle and high schools, making the trails accessible for people and their dogs. Despite facing weather challenges, Drew’s perseverance shone through, and he credits scouting with instilling leadership, life skills, and values like good citizenship. When asked for advice, Drew shared, “Stick with it. It’s a fun experience if you go into it with the right mindset.”
Tyler Jewson’s Eagle Scout project also involved building bog boards to bridge muddy areas, improving accessibility and usability for the community. The HHS junior’s project demonstrates a hands-on commitment to solving local challenges and leaving a lasting impact.
Since joining scouting in 2019, junior Matthew Bell has held the leadership position of “historian.” For his Eagle Scout project, Matthew built paddle board racks for the Hingham Maritime Center. In addition to that, he refurbished their flagpole, built in the 1920s. His role as troop historian reflects his dedication to leadership and legacy and his project reveals a deep understanding and appreciation for the local history.
Junior Liam Anderson’s path to Eagle Scout began with a unique twist: quitting in 5th grade only to rejoin in 6th. His determination paid off as he rose to the rank of Senior Patrol Leader, managing a troop of 60 scouts. For his Eagle Scout project, Liam created portable exhibit signs for antique vehicles to support the local historical society. Communication challenges during the project taught him the importance of persistence and follow-ups. Liam credits scouting with shaping his leadership and communication skills, making him a more well-rounded individual. His advice to aspiring Eagle Scouts: “Overlook the tedious, see the light at the end of the tunnel, and imagine yourself in the future without it. You’d be pretty sad if you saw all the others and wish you had stuck through it.”
From bike drives to bog boards and historical preservation, these scouts’ projects highlight the diverse ways Eagle Scouts make meaningful contributions. Through their dedication, leadership, and resilience, they’ve not only achieved scouting’s highest rank but also left lasting marks on their communities, setting powerful examples for future generations.

At the heart of Hanover High School is a hub of hard-working students dedicated to serving the school community with warm baked goods and coffee: Cedar Street Café. This beloved café has a unique origin story: for many years, students in the RISE and POST programs have been making treats to sell to teachers at Cedar School. About three years ago, HHS Principal Mr. Mattos approved bringing the operation here, where its weekly shop has flourished.
The RISE and POST programs at HHS work with special needs students from ages 14-22 on academics, life skills and social/communication skills. The programs are run by Mr. O’Hare and Ms. Melone, assisted by a team of paraprofessionals who help tailor learning to each student’s needs. Ms. Mann and Ms. Drinkwater, the paras helping run the cafe on a recent visit, explained that the goal is to teach students about handling money and providing excellent customer service. They also shared that their favorite aspect of the café is the interaction between the students and their peers.
Students and teachers in the RISE and POST programs typically shop for the week on Mondays and bake the treats on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. When Thursday comes around, three students manage the café out of room 111. One takes orders, another prepares the coffee and packs baked goods, and the third handles transactions. As a student myself, I can confidently say that Cedar Street Café brings joy to everyone’s day. The moment the announcement is made over the loudspeaker, half the class rushes to the café. When they return, they’re all smiles, carrying delicious treats.
Now, you’re probably wondering what’s on the menu. Ms. Mann says that the blueberry cake and coffee cake are not only her personal favorites but also a fan favorite among students. However, the café offers so much more: cookies, lemon cake, pumpkin bread, coffee, blondie brownies, regular brownies and sugar cookies have been up for sale. One thing everyone knows about Cedar Street Café is its love for seasonal treats! In the fall, they serve pumpkin-flavored goodies; in the winter, they offer holiday cookies and hot chocolate; and in the spring, lemon bread becomes the go-to treat.
The café is always looking for new ideas, and the teachers encourage students to share suggestions. If you have a specific treat in mind, submit your ideas using the Google Form linked below! Keep in mind, the café operates as cash-only to give students valuable hands-on experience in handling money and practicing essential math skills.
Cedar Street Café is more than just a place to grab a snack—it’s a bright spot in the day for students and staff alike, and a cornerstone of our school community.

The Powder Puff is a longstanding school tradition where Junior and Senior girls have the opportunity to face one another in a football game, coached by members of the varsity football team. This year’s contest between the “Spidey Seniors” and “Jackpot Juniors” took place near Thanksgiving and was very competitive. It’s become precedent that the Seniors dominate and win every year. However, the Juniors posed a potential threat to this legacy.
Tess Madden scores for the Juniors.
Tess Madden put the Juniors on the scoreboard first with a touchdown. The Seniors’ shocked expressions made it clear that they had expected the traditional easy victory and were caught off guard. But the Spidey Seniors quickly regained their composure, responding with two touchdowns of their own. The Class of 2025 gained the lead and shifted the momentum in their favor.
This intense rivalry between the teams was evident by the loud, energetic atmosphere. It was a tight game with lots of calls from the referees which the Seniors were able to capitalize on. Despite not having any formal practice or preparation leading up to the game, the Spidey Seniors were able to turn situations to their advantage. In contrast, the Juniors took a more strategic approach, holding a practice the night before the game. During this practice the Jackpot Juniors created their foundation of plays, lineups, and, most importantly, teamwork. However, the lack of preparation on the Seniors’ part didn’t seem to hinder their performance. When asked if the Juniors should have won, Finley Nadeau, a Class of 2026 running back, simply replied, “Yes,” highlighting the value of her class’s preparation and teamwork.

Ultimately, the Seniors won the game but the Juniors put up a strong fight. Powder Puff’s meaning extends beyond the final score—it’s an opportunity to strengthen the sense of community within each class. For many, like Hope Miller, a Junior wide receiver, the experience was just as much about the friendships as the competition. She shared that she was “looking forward to playing with her friends,” highlighting the spirit of unity. Powderpuff is a unique experience to branch outside of your circle and make friends within your class.

Check out a photo album and video taken for HPS by Mrs. Monahan:
On the morning of September 3rd, the sun rose to greet the residents in the town of Hanover. Autumn signaled its approach, as leaves danced in the air, swishing and sliding as they fell to the ground. The turning of the leaf, the changing of the season, symbolized a new beginning for everyone, but especially for those who attend Hanover High School. With the failure of a funding initiative in May, students woke to the blaring of their alarm clocks and the bright light of a new day, along with the realization that their lives have changed for the rest of their high school careers.
Flashback to early May, when there’s a high chance you heard about a potential vote that would determine the “fate of Hanover.” Rumor of the vote spread like wildfire throughout the town, and some students were confused by or unaware of the reason for the vote. On the evenings of May 5 and 6, hundreds of citizens of Hanover gathered in the high school auditorium to voice their opinions about the town budget proposed for the subsequent year. The town was asking for about $6 million in additional funding for multiple departments, according to the town website. If approved, taxes would be raised, costing the average homeowner about $1400 a year.
Residents had to decide whether they would put this proposal to a town-wide vote in a special election. Those in attendance voted in favor of a special election May 18. But on that day, residents worried about higher taxes and rising costs voted by a large margin to reject the tax increase. Town departments were forced to reduce their budgets, cutting down on many programs and job positions.
This would be felt most harshly in the schools, which had asked for about $2.7 million of the additional funds. The school department is responsible for helping students become the future leaders of society. A comfortable and safe atmosphere for students is important for the schools of Hanover to uphold the motto of giving all students the chance “to soar and succeed without limits.” But according to information on the Town of Hanover website, the override failure would lead to more than 25 teachers being laid off, classroom sizes increasing by 20 percent, and electives for students being reduced. Opportunities for teaching and career exploration would decrease, supporters of the override feared, while behavior issues would increase.
Now that we are a few months into the school year, the wounds inflicted by the override failure have become more evident at HHS. The void left by the budget cuts looms in the empty classrooms that once were used to teach Hanover students, or classrooms bursting at the seams. According to Steve Henderson, President of the Hanover Teachers Union, there are fewer courses being offered at the high school, and the ones being offered are overcrowded. There is also aging technology that cannot be replaced and field trips and extracurriculars that have been canceled. Seniors, in their last year, no longer have the same class choices and opportunities they have grown to expect, he said, and freshmen coming into school have “an uncertain horizon ahead of them.”
Teachers are unable to spend as much time with students because of larger class sizes and caseloads, and their relationships with students are suffering, Mr. Henderson said. “Teachers are in a very trying position, and will continue to advocate for students.”
The opportunity to collaborate with other students and to create the arts that represent HHS is a gift to many. HHS strives in the arts and thrives when it comes to amazing performances by the chorus, band and drama programs. However, the Fine Arts department has changed because of the override failure. Matt Harden, music teacher and band director, said major impacts from the override include the loss of supplies and programs and the shifting of teachers to courses they have never taught before. The high school also lost its drama teacher, which has greatly impacted the face of the popular Drama program, he said.
“There will be a ripple effect for a long time,” he said. “My goal every day is to limit how much of an impact there is.”
It is necessary to understand the central causes that brought the town to this financial position. According to the town of Hanover website, “similar to many Massachusetts communities, the cost of providing services to the community has outpaced the revenue growth allowed under Proposition 2½ .” This means that the town’s tax revenue – its profits – aren’t keeping up with its expenses. The money in the town’s coffers also has been impacted by the expiration of federal Covid-19 grants and general inflation.
Rising expenses have not only impacted our town, but other comparable towns such as Sandwich, Rockland, Norwell and Westwood. Based upon a Municipal Data Bank, created by the Massachusetts Department of Revenue, towns like ours have asked for an average of 5.1 overrides since 1990 and more requests have failed than succeeded. Sandwich alone has asked for an override 11 times. Hanover has sought two tax overrides since 1990, both of which passed.
Hoping to heal from the wounds being nursed this year, school and town officials are already deep into planning the budget for next year. They are preparing three different budget proposals and pursuing another override vote. The “level funding” school budget would maintain the current level of reduced funding, resulting in more cuts due to rising expenses, according to school officials’ budget presentations. The “level services” budget would include funding to cover those rising expenses to maintain what we have this year. The “restore 24” budget would restore the funding cut last spring, returning many positions and programs that have been reduced.
If only the “level funding” is approved, officials say, bussing, sports, clubs and course offerings at HHS could be even further impacted. The school we know and love, that the community cheers for on the playing field and on stage, could become unrecognizable. “Our identity is defined by the schools,” said Mr. Henderson.
It is a gift that HHS still maintains its core factors, its students and staff. The relationships that students and teachers have built over the years make HHS a welcoming place. It is hard to imagine what will happen if another override fails.
Hanover High students went all in for Spirit Week and Homecoming, held Oct. 28-Nov. 1. The costumes for the four themed days included red, white and blue; jammies and jerseys; ‘On Wednesdays, we wear pink’ from the movie Clueless; and Halloween costumes. The Junior Class won the pod decorating contest with Jungle Juniors, and students wearing their class colors crowded into the gym for a pep rally that featured riotous games and friendly trash talk.
The football team crushed North Quincy High School 42-7 in the Friday night Homecoming game, cheered on by a crowd of costumed fans in the endzone. Seniors Connor McCue and Ava Good were voted Homecoming king and queen at the Saturday night dance, which attendees said was the best in several years.

The Hanover High School Cabaret concert, held October 15, transformed the cafeteria into a musical showcase. About 20 participants performed. The Pride of Hanover marching band played its current field show “Chicago,” and Vox displayed its choral talents. Other performances included “Enchanted” by Taylor Swift, sung by Avery Porro and Sophie Frattasio, and “Good Luck, Babe!” by Chappel Roan, performed by Henry Graham and Daniel Freedman. I joined Anna Dillon, Aevlyn Brangan, Ben Smith, Maria-Rita Silva and Luca Ciccolo for “Viva La Vida” by Coldplay. All of the performances were exceptional.
It is a great accomplishment to go in front of an audience and perform. Even after playing for many years on stage, it can still be nerve racking, but everyone did a great job. Some were even brave enough to play a solo. I talked to several of the performers to learn more about the atmosphere for the musical arts at HHS. I love performing in front of a crowd, whether it’s at a football game or a concert. It is fun and exhilarating, even though it can fill me with worries. But it’s all worth it when you see everyone supporting you and cheering you on.
“Before my first game, I was nervous but then I realized that I did good,” said Tory Jara, a freshman. “I feel very proud of myself after my performances due to all of the hard work that I put in everytime.”
Many band students believe, and I agree, that one of the best parts about being in band is showing what we can accomplish together. We all have to come together to make the band what it is and it takes teamwork. Another great thing about band is all of the friends you make. Going to class first period every morning with all the people I love is a great feeling, and everyone there shares a common passion, music! As a freshman, I wasn’t sure what to expect from high school band, but I very quickly realized that while I liked being in band before, I now love it. I am starting a new chapter that helped make the overall move to high school a little easier.
“The people you meet are amazing and they make you feel like you are part of the team,” said freshman Layla Ali. Music makes you come out of your shell and learn to communicate without words, she added.

“If at the end of a war story you feel uplifted, or if you feel that some small bit of rectitude has been salvaged from the larger waste, then you have been made the victim of a very old and terrible lie,” wrote Tim O’Brien in The Things They Carried, his National Book-award winning novel based on his experiences as a soldier in the Vietnam War.
Our reading of this book in class motivated us to reflect on the horrors of war and what a soldier would carry on his body and in his heart in order to survive such a traumatic experience. We invited Robert (Bob) Melone, a U.S. military veteran who served in Afghanistan, and father of junior Cam Melone, to join our class and candidly discuss his experience.
“Everyone is human and deserves dignity.”
Robert (Bob) Melone, with his son, Cam, now a junior at HHS.
Mr. Melone always felt the obligation to join the military because his father and grandfather had served. In 1996, he graduated Silver Lake High School and was working at Papa Gino’s in Pembroke. He knew he wanted to go to college and the only way he could afford this was by joining the military. So he joined the National Guard in 1997 and began basic training in Missouri. He was deployed to Afghanistan in 2002 to fight the Taliban and al-Qaeda, two terrorist organizations.
He recalls landing his military plane at Bagram Air Force Base with no lights on, in total darkness, in order to evade the enemy. For the first three months of service, he and his platoon did not have the means to take a shower. Mr. Melone then embarked on a covert operation to locate a shower; he ended up finding one on another Air Force base.
Mr. Melone’s platoon was responsible for blowing up a cache of ammunition and bombs from al-Qaeda and the Taliban. His platoon detonated the enemy’s weaponry high up in the mountains of Afghanistan. The elevation was higher than Denver, Colorado, causing him to suffer from elevation fatigue for the first few days he was there. Mr. Melone found it difficult to breathe in the extreme altitudes of these high mountain ranges as he embarked on these dangerous missions.
Mr. Melone visits schoolchildren in Afghanistan.
As a combat medic, he made sure his platoon was taken care of properly. Not only this, but Mr. Melone also took good care of prisoners of war (POWs) who were on the side of America’s enemies. He cared for the very people who may have killed him if given the chance. He never lost sight of the humanity in people on the other “side.” For him, it wasn’t about how many people he hurt, it was about how many people he helped. “Everyone is human and deserves dignity,” he said
Overall, Mr. Melone reports that he and his American platoon colleagues were treated well by the Afghans, but he noted that he “wasn’t sure if some were bringing information back to the enemy.” Similar to Vietnam, there were times he did not know who the enemy was.
The women in Afghanistan wore burqas and were not allowed to speak to American servicemen, Mr. Melone recounted. The Afghan women were only allowed to speak amongst themselves or possibly to female soldiers. The young girls in Afghanistan attended school at the time; however, that is no longer the case. Mr. Melone reflected with regret on how women’s rights deteriorated over time. Since the U.S. withdrew from Afghanistan in 2021, the role of women has declined even further.
Mr. Melone and fellow soldiers enjoy the Italian platoon’s espresso bar.
Despite being in combat overseas, there were some moments of levity that Mr. Melone looks back on fondly. He remembers that the European troops were better equipped and had more luxuries than their American counterparts. He recalls visiting an Italian military platoon that had set up a full espresso bar. Mr. Melone and his fellow American servicemen indulged in the Italian hospitality and truly enjoyed the excellent quality coffee, espresso and cappuccino.
Mr. Melone’s platoon with their MaryLou’s delivery.
As a lover of coffee, this was one of the comforts that Mr. Melone missed most. He recalls writing a letter to the popular coffee chain Mary Lou’s asking them to send his platoon some coffee. Soon, he and his fellow servicemen received a massive supply of Mary Lou’s coffee direct from the South Shore.
Much like O’Brien recounts in The Things They Carried, Melone met his best friends in the military. They gave each other nicknames and used their sense of humor to deal with the stress and agony of war.
Also similar to O’Brien’s observations, Melone considered the overall sense of purpose in America’s presence in Afghanistan. At the time, Melone felt that Americans had a strong reason to be in Afghanistan: to free the Afghans from the oppression of the Taliban. Yet looking back, he feels doubt about what the purpose was. He reflected that, when it comes to war, “getting out is way harder than going in.”
An Afghan child walks his bull on a leash.
In The Things They Carried, Tim O’Brien writes about the tangible and intangible things he and his fellow troops carried with them while at war in Vietnam. Mr. Melone said during his year of service and to this day, he carries the Afghan children. He felt a deep connection to the innocent young lives that were trying to survive in very difficult conditions. He showed a photo of a very young boy walking a bull around on a leash, similar to the way Americans walk their dogs. He cherishes photos of the children of Afghanistan and has several photos framed around his house.
Physically, he carried a St. Jude prayer card from his cousin Patty that was originally their grandmother’s. This prayer asks God for help during difficult times. He carried this prayer card with him everywhere and it reminded him of his loved ones back home.
To this day. Mr. Melone carries the powerful emotion and experience with him, and is not afraid to show his vulnerability and how it deeply affected him. We witnessed this when he shared his family legacy of service, his love for the children of Afghanistan, and his love for his own children.
Ultimately, Mr. Melone is grateful for the opportunities the military gave him and is proud of his service. However, his overall message about war resonated with us all: “Anything that glorifies war is a lie. War is inhumane.” We are sure Tim O’Brien would agree.
According to a recent survey by CBS News, 25 percent of people say that Halloween is their favorite holiday. Despite this, many give up on the tradition of trick or treating at some point during their teenage years. This tends to happen for a few reasons, including embarrassment over participating in a ‘childish’ activity, social pressure to stop, and interest in other activities such as parties or hanging out with friends. As a high schooler myself, I too have elected to stop trick or treating. Instead I will be handing out candy at my door, which still allows me to dress up and enjoy the festivities. The motivations for children to stop trick or treating are fairly straightforward, but their parents’ views on that decision are a bit more varied.
The two graphs below show information taken from an informal survey of eight Hanover High School parents comparing the ages their children stopped trick or treating to the age they believe it is best to stop trick or treating.
While many parents seemed to agree that sometime in high school is, in fact, the right age to stop participating in the tradition, most also expressed sadness that their children had given up trick or treating.
“Like a part of their childhood was lost forever,” said the mother of junior Sienna Lamond.
Adam Oliver, another parent in the Hanover community, said he was perfectly fine with older kids trick or treating around the neighborhood. “As long as they’re not interfering with the younger kids having fun,” he said.
The rest of the parents surveyed echoed this statement, agreeing that older groups of teenagers trick or treating is only a problem when they decide to cause mischief or be disrespectful.
While parents and their kids seem to agree on the general age that it is appropriate to stop trick or treating, that decision has as much of an impact on the adults who are watching their children grow up, as on the kids themselves. As grandmother Kathy Kacergis put it, “you have to keep the spirit of fun things alive,” which sums up the bittersweet sentiment of the parents on this topic.
With the Class of 2024 focusing on their plans ahead, some can’t help but look back on their time shared during high school. Seniors who responded to The Hawk survey said they will miss most the friendships and community they formed at Hanover High. After going to school together for so long and building so many close relationships, it will be hard for many students to be away from them.
“I will mostly miss my friends and all the memories we have made here,” said Kaleigh Carthas. Paige Canny agreed, saying “I’ll miss living amongst such a tight knit community.” Mary Waters will miss being part of the band. Devin Goslin said he’ll miss “being able to say hi to at least four people every time I’m in the hallway.”
Eddie Yoo will miss John McDonald and Billy Radzik will miss Ryan Murphy.
For several seniors, the thing they’ll miss most is what happened on the fields and courts. “Being involved in sports teams and attending the sports events,” said Emma Dolan. Dylan Howard added: “seeing my friends everyday and all the sports.”
Many students said they’ll be sad to say goodbye to HHS teachers and staff. For Ashley Stracco, that includes “amazing teachers like Mr. Henderson and my favorite librarian!” For Kaelyn Chase, it’s the “nurses and Guidance department.” For Ed Vedeikis, it’s Mr. Sprague and for Nikki Bliss, it’s Mrs. Curley. Morgan Sullivan named “the Turocys, my favorite couple.” Kyle McCarthy said it’s “the teachers and counselors that I have created a close bond with the last four years.”
“I have gotten to build relationships with teachers from all departments,” said Aidan O’Connor. “Getting to talk and learn from them was something I had not gotten to do at this level before, and I will miss all the faculty that got not just me, but all students, to where we are now.”
Jazzy Clark said she will most miss the lunch ladies. “All of the lunch staff are so kind and accommodating, always making sure our needs are met and that we are never left hungry.” This leads to another thing students said they’ll be sad to say goodbye to, some of the lunch items. Both Gaby McAllister and Maeve O’Connell said they’ll miss the cafeteria nachos.
Aiden Moody said he’ll miss “that atmosphere.” Michael Haleem will miss “the fun times.” Michael Costello said he’ll be sad when he can no longer be “in the library every period sitting in the comfy orange chairs. All my friends were in the study and I mostly just talked instead of doing my VHS.”
One thing that won’t be missed, according to Kyle Gonsalves, is “waking up at 5 in the morning.”
