The 2023-2024 cycle marked a comeback after the pandemic, with the Hong Kong Chapter-Alumni Association launching new initiatives to better engage with the broader alumni community.

We were excited to have hosted our first ever HKIS Alumni Prom, welcoming 160+ alums as well as former and current faculty on the high school campus to reconnect and take a trip down memory lane. Representatives spanning the Class of ‘95 to ‘14 showed up in their prom-ready attire for an evening of drinks, dancing, dinner in the cafeteria (yes, served on cafeteria trays!), performances from the Hong Kong Dancers, and music through the ages from alumni DJs TJ Cheng ‘07 and Kevin Hui ‘03.

Another first - we organized the first ever Alumni Golf Tournament. Bringing back the old (friendly) rivalry with Chinese International School, a team of HKIS alums took to the golf course in May, winning the tournament and HK$30,000 in prize money! We are excited to have presented the winnings to the school to support HKIS’ Black Kite Scholarship Program, a donor-supported scholarship fund.

We continued to hold gatherings where possible. Our evergreen alumni happy hour as well as a weekend family hike were opportunities for alums to network and just have fun! The Hong Kong Chapter-Alumni Association is run by a group of Hong Kong-based HKIS alumni who work closely with the school to enable further connectivity between the school and the Hong Kong alumni community.
