Hello, Students, staff, and friends of Hudson High school! Welcome to the National Chinese Honors Society (NCHS) page!

Allow me to introduce the rest of our officers and their positions. Our president is Erica Liu, our Vice President is Katrina Li, and our artistic coordinator is Laura Zhang! The teacher in charge of our program is the awesome Mr.Wang (王老师), who makes this organization really fun to be in and helps us learn. Our goal in NCHS is to learn about the Chinese language and culture and to share it with the school. Watch out for upcoming projects and events from NCHS! We look forward to teaching our school about Chinese culture and language!

April 14, 2022
In honor of sending off seniors & other AP Chinese students, Mr. Wang, being the amazing Chinese teacher that he is, took the AP Chinese class to an authentic Chinese restaurant for lunch! This experience allowed us to practice our Mandarin Chinese with the restaurant owners/workers, bond more as a class, and was able to eat delicious food! It was a lot of fun and very educational! Thank you Mr. Wang for taking us out to lunch, paying for it, and for coming up with the idea! We’d love to do it again sometime.

March 24, 2022
Hello, everyone! Hudson High School held a World Culture Day Fair on March 24th, which the National Chinese Honor Society gladly participated in! Many of our members helped with other clubs too, such as Dear Asian Youth (DAY) and Asian Culture Club (ACC). From ACC drawing henna and making bubble tea, to DAY selling snacks, from NCHS doing pickup candy races using chopsticks to selling traditional Chinese treats made by our members, our stands were a huge success. The tickets we earned go toward our clubs’ funds, and thanks to our fellow students and teachers' interest, we raised a good amount of money to keep our clubs running. Besides raising money for our clubs, this experience allowed for us to share Asia’s cultures with the school and taught us the meaning of teamwork. We’d like to thank HHS for creating such an event and for everyone who participated and/or supported our stand!

We can’t wait to work hand in hand with you and educate our school on Chinese Culture and Language together!

January 28th, 2022 for February 1st (Chinese New Year)
Hello everyone! “新年快乐”, or “Happy New Year”! In honor of welcoming in the new year, Hudson High’s very own National Chinese Honor Society and Dear Asian Youth decided to decorate the school! The hallway by Mr. Zustin’s room Is decorated with many red lanterns hanging up, both brightening up the school and symbolizing the importance of the color red in Chinese culture. Red symbolizes wealth, being in good health, and having good luck, thus the color is used quite often, especially for Chinese New Year. Since the holiday is also known as “The Spring Festival”, because spring marks the beginning of the year on the Lunar calendar, Mr. Wang’s (王老师) door is covered with the character “春”, literally translating to “spring”. NCHS and DAY are proud to share the importance of and culture behind Chinese New Year with everyone at the high school! Happy New Year! Here’s to 2022, the year of the tiger!

Holiday Door Decoration Contest
December 8, 10, and 14th
To kick off the holiday season, Hudson High decided to have a door decorating contest and of course, the Chinese learning students, specifically the National Chinese Honor Society, decided to ban together to get first place for Mr. Wang (王老师). We worked to create a design that was centered around Christmas but also featured Chinese Culture. Besides the essential snow-covered Christmas tree with presents under it, Laura Zhang, our artistic coordinator, drew a lucky red dragon with golden scales flying around the tree.
There are red envelopes often seen on Chinese New Year on the tree with messages such as wishing someone luck on exams and wishing someone to stay healthy. Under the tree and on the stump of it, there are mooncakes and presents wrapped with a bow that reads “福” meaning “blessing”. With the beautiful snow-falling scenery, our Chinese culture-inspired Christmas door won first place! Thank you to everyone that participated in the making of the door and for being such a kind and cooperative team! And thank you to the judges for picking us for first place! We hope everyone had an amazing holiday break!

Chinese Corner - Chinese, Games, Friendships
March 2021
On March 15th, the National Chinese Honors Society came to school on a late start day to play board games, such as Guess Who and Chinese Checkers, and only speaking Mandarin Chinese! This allowed for us students to practice our speaking skills while having fun with friends! This was our first Chinese Corner of the year, which is what we are calling days dedicated to doing activities related to learning about the Chinese language and culture! It is available to anyone in the school, even if you don’t speak Chinese or aren’t in the class. Everyone is welcome! We hope to see you there at our next event!

National Chinese Honors Society (NCHS) and Dear Asian Youth
Come Together to Celebrate Chinese New Year and Decorate the School
February 2021
After school, the National Chinese Honors Society (NCHS) and Dear Asian Youth were hard at work decorating the senior courtyard with paper lanterns and a poster made for Chinese New Year. To share a piece of Chinese culture with the school, the students made Hongbao (红包), otherwise known as red envelopes, which are traditionally filled with money and given to children from their relatives this holiday. The Hongbao from NCHS/Dear Asian Youth were filled with chocolate coins instead of money and were made for anyone who wanted one. They were gone very quickly! We are glad to be able to share such an awesome culture with HHS. Thank you to all of the students who participated in the decorating of the school and to Mr. Wang for organizing it.
National Chinese Honor Society (NCHS) Induction Ceremony
January 2021
We welcomed new members into the National Chinese Honors Society with an induction ceremony. The students were given a candle and sworn in by reciting a promise in both English and Mandarin Chinese. As the students sat back down and blew out their candles, each student was awarded a certificate welcoming them into the society from the amazing Chinese teacher, Mr. Wang (王老师). We are grateful to Mr. Wilch who came in to watch the ceremony and congratulate us. We are also grateful to Mr. Wang, who has made this achievement possible.
