HOMECOMING WEEK 2026
Tai Tam Day
✦
Take a trip back to a fun-filled morning on the Tai Tam campus during Homecoming Week, when guests enjoyed a slice of Secondary student life.
A HS Student Ambassadors leads Homecoming Week visitors on a tour of the Tai Tam Campus.
The day began at the newly opened Dragon Center for Activities and Athletics (DCAA)—an impressive space that officially opened in January 2026—before moving into an engaging panel featuring Secondary Principals alongside Middle School and High School Student Ambassadors. Together, they shared honest glimpses into their daily routines and highlights, while also responding to audience questions—including how students are beginning to use AI in their learning and schoolwork.
A quieter moment in the morning came with the labyrinth walk, led by HS Humanities Teacher Mike Kersten—an experience that is part of students’ spiritual journey at HKIS, offering a space for reflection amidst a busy schedule.

From there, guests explored the campus in smaller groups, stepping into learning spaces and connecting directly with students and teachers. In Middle School, they encountered students immersed in drama and cooking classes—bringing everyday learning to life. In the High School, alumni enjoyed a coffee tasting led by Ms. Joanne Brown and Derin Seckiner ‘26, along with beautiful choir, strings, and band performances by our talented High School performing arts students. Throughout the tour, what stood out most was the opportunity to interact with students—a powerful reminder of what makes HKIS so special today. A stop at the Dragon Shop—always a favorite for alumni and former faculty—added a fun and familiar touch along the way.
The morning wrapped up in the cafeteria—a space that now feels more like a modern food court. For many alumni, it was a reminder of how much has changed, with stories of ordering McDonald’s twice a week in the 70s and 80s sparking laughter, nostalgia, and easy conversations.
