We propose a novel H^m-nonconforming staggered discontinuous Galerkin (SDG) method for solving m-th order Laplace equations on polytopal meshes in arbitrary dimensions, inspired by the ideas introduced in [1]. The scheme is hybridizable and requires fewer degrees of freedom. Optimal error estimates are established in the energy norm, and the L^2-error convergence can be further improved via post-processing. Numerical experiments are presented to confirm the theoretical convergence rates of the proposed method.
