- Student Leadership
Joey L, Grade 11 Student
Recently, six student leaders at Hangzhou International School (HIS) were chosen via a stringent application process for the Harvard Model Congress Middle East 2026 being held in Doha, Qatar. Luckily, I was selected to go. As soon as I received the email, I knew that this trip would not be a four-day vacation, but rather a rigorous competition that would make me better as a person and improve my academic skills.
