Please join us for our annual Autumn Reception for alums on Wednesday, October 19, from 6-8 pm at the HCHS Library, located at 94th Street and Park Avenue. This year’s reception will feature a book reading by Jean Kwok ’86, author of the New York Times bestseller, Girl in Translation. A partially fictionalized account of Jean’s own life, Girl in Translation is the story of a woman who immigrates to New York from Hong Kong as a young child and works in a sweatshop before being accepted into an elite high school. Published in 2010, the award-winning book has already been published in 15 countries. Attendees of this free event will also have the opportunity to meet Dr. Tony Fisher, the acting principal of HCHS. Please RSVP (with or without guest) no later than October 17, by emailing info@hchsaa.org and include “Autumn Reception” in the subject heading. Due to space restrictions, each alum may be accompanied by no more than one guest.
