The Forces Behind The Hanover Monthly

Introducing Our Team

Editor in Chiefs

  • Chance Archer

    Editor in Chief

    “Hey, I’m Chance Archer, the Co-Founder of the Hanover Monthly. I’m currently a senior at Patrick Henry High School. A few things about me are that I run a nonprofit called One Small Chance and swim year-round for NOVA.

    While I’m involved in a few clubs such as 7th Up and Debate - The Hanover Monthly was founded due to the lack of student voice within the community, the mission is to bring students, parents, teachers, and education together within the community creating a place for innovation and presence for all.”

On my journey to expanding my horizons and taking every opportunity I can to further my academic journey, I thought it would be a great idea to collaborate with like-minded students and join a newspaper organization. Through this newspaper organization, we could keep the student body informed on the activities taking place in their schools and town, and keep others entertained, and it would also keep my writing and creative skills sharp.
