On August 17,2011, the school opening ceremony for Grades 9-12 was held at the auditorium of the International Programs. More than 100 students and all of G9-12 teachers and staff were present at the ceremony.  Mr. Thomas Liu, the Executive Principal of International Programs, Mr. Scott Thompson, the Academic Principal, delivered an opening speech respectively. After the opening ceremony, every subject teacher made a brief introduction in terms of their subjects, so that students would have a general idea of what the subjects should be about.  Principals and teachers wish that the students work very hard and achieve great success throughout this school year.
