叔何顯理師母
Our story began with the adventure of a courageous and persistent young lady who was the first American female missionary to China, the first western woman living in Hong Kong, and a pioneer in offering education to oriental girls. She is now a role model for many missionaries and our fellow schoolmate – Mrs. Henrietta Hall Shuck. Inspired by her short but splendid life, our school founders established the Henrietta Secondary School to carry on her unfinished mission of being the salt and the light for the suffering world.
