HSArts Spirit Week is this week!

What is HSArts spirit? Our mascot, the Phoenix, rises from the ashes—a symbol of determination, resilience, and hope. That’s the artist’s path: we work hard, we persevere, we achieve, and we create.

We are off to a strong start this fall semester! In just three weeks, our students have demonstrated remarkable motivation and punctuality, setting a positive tone for the year ahead. This month, we have been focusing on study skills—goal-setting, creating daily schedules, and building productive habits. Each student has thoughtfully identified one specific skill to strengthen in order to become a more effective learner.

At HSArts, we often say that while farmers plant in the spring and harvest in the fall, schools plant in the fall and harvest in the spring. As we near the end of the school year, we’re celebrating a season filled with growth and achievement. From early morning classes to late-evening rehearsals, our students have worked hard all year—and now it’s time to recognize their incredible efforts.

怎样才能成为卓越的领导者？

领导力决定了我们如何影响、激励和贡献世界。沟通和决策等领导技能固然重要，但它们都是后天习得的能力，而正直、同理心和韧性等领导品质则决定了谁是领导者。

伟大的领导者体现的是价值观，而不仅仅是技巧。与技能不同，素质必须在生活中培养和践行。在 HSArts 的领导力课程中，我们注重培养这两方面的能力，使学生成为能够产生持久影响的卓越领导者。

大家蛇年快乐！蛇是十二生肖中继龙之后的第六种动物。虽然在现代符号学中，蛇通常与背叛和危险联系在一起，但它们在中国十二生肖中的地位却有着更深刻的含义。在中国古代文化中，蛇代表智慧、转变和新生。蛇蜕皮重生的能力被视为重生和个人成长的有力象征。
