Spring 2022: HKIS is back on campus after three months of remote learning and we didn’t miss a step. This issue features recently introduced DragonBites — short articles published throughout the semester that tell stories of student life and learning. Also included are fond farewells for teachers who have served at HKIS for over 20 years!
In this issue, we feature HKIS alumni throughout the decades and share their stories of passion, creativity, and perseverance. Alongside our alumni stories, read about HKIS today and what's happening in 2021. While the backdrop of our beloved city of Hong Kong continues to evolve as it has over the past 55 years, HKIS remains steadfast in its mission and community spirit.
