Please join us in wishing our Administrative Assistant, Christina, a very happy birthday today!

We would like to congratulate the Hanover Central Wildcats varsity football team on their 28–10 victory over Michigan City to kick off the season!

You may have noticed our crews at yesterday’s game. At every Wildcat home football game, a Cedar Lake Fire Department ambulance and crew will be on standby to provide immediate medical assistance should an emergency occur.

We are proud to serve our community both on and off the field, including the students, staff, families, and athletes of Hanover Central High School.

Congratulations on a great start to the season, Wildcats! We look forward to cheering you on throughout the year!

As students across Hanover Community Schools head back to the classroom, the Cedar Lake Fire Department would like to wish all students, teachers, staff, and families a safe and successful school year!

With school back in session, please help us keep our kids safe by remembering a few important reminders:

🚌 Watch for school buses. Slow down when approaching a bus and never pass a school bus when its stop arm is extended and red lights are flashing.

🚸 Be alert in school zones. Reduce your speed, watch carefully for children crossing the street, and avoid distractions behind the wheel.

📵 Put the phone down. School traffic means more buses, pedestrians, bicycles, and vehicles on the road. A few seconds of distraction can make a significant difference.

🚗 Allow extra time. Expect increased traffic around schools during morning arrival and afternoon dismissal. Leaving a little earlier helps everyone get where they’re going safely.

👧 Talk with your children about safety. Remind them to use designated crosswalks, look both ways before crossing, stay out of the roadway while waiting for the bus, and never walk between parked vehicles.

🚒 Please watch for emergency vehicles. Increased school traffic can make emergency response more challenging. If you see lights and hear sirens, safely pull to the right and stop so emergency vehicles can pass.

To all of our students beginning another year: have a great first day, work hard, make some memories, and stay safe!
