Nguyễn Minh Nhật, a student of the 10A1 Informatics class, had a thoughtful sharing at the ceremony: “When I first knew about the concept of ‘specialized school’, I was only a 4th-grade student, and I was not excellent in my class. The times I talked with seniors and my friends slowly formed my beautiful, yet seemingly unreachable dream of studying in HUS High School for Gifted Students. It became the motivation for me throughout my secondary school years. From a distant dream, it turned into a goal, and my efforts finally bore fruits. To be a part of this school is a great honor, a significant milestone, and a beginning of a new path to my higher goal and dream”.
The opening ceremony ended in content and satisfaction. HUS High School for Gifted Students began its schedule the following day, with its classes held online.
Representatives from the 11th and the 12th grade introduced school clubs to new students.
