Child Writing on Desk

Hanover School Division serves the communities of Blumenort, Bothwell, Crystal Springs, Grunthal, Kleefeld, Landmark, Mitchell, Niverville, and Steinbach.

Representing nine communities, Hanover School Division consists of approximately 8,900 students and 1,100 total staff in 19 schools. In addition to academics, athletics, and the arts, HSD offers full vocational and technology education programming.

Parents and caregivers are encouraged to register their children in January for September entry, as this will assist schools in planning and scheduling. Early registration also provides the opportunity to participate in upcoming orientation events in spring.
