3 Staples HS Students Among U.S. Delegates At Singapore Summit

Information from Westport Public Schools:

WESTPORT, CT — Staples High School is pleased to announce that Anna Ji, Andrew Rebello and Jackson Tracey will represent SHS at the HCI-APYLS 2024 event in Singapore. Mr. Stafford Thomas, Principal, will accompany the delegates.

Hwa Chong Institution (HCI), one of the premier schools in Singapore, will be hosting an international summit in July. Three Staples students have been selected to represent Westport and the United States. HCI is eager to share its success with similar high performing schools and to learn from others. HCI invites only the top student leaders from some of the best schools around the world. In previous years, student participants came from Australia, China, France, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Oman, Philippines, South Africa, South Korea, United Kingdom, US and Singapore. The delegation of students invited to HCI-APYLS is distinguished, with only about 80 students on campus for the duration of the conference.

For the past eleven years, Westport has been invited to send three juniors who are both high performing students AND interested in world affairs with a special interest in Asia. We are thrilled that these three students have agreed to represent the school. They have shown substantial leadership capacity and potential and are academically able and among the top performers in the school. They also exhibit enthusiasm and strong interest in forging ties with fellow students from around the world.

Congratulations to the delegates, who will join students from two other high schools in the
US as representatives from the United States!
