Every year, students participate in international science exhibitions and are constant winners in international Olympic Games for science. The musical clubs such as the choir, the brass band, the harmonica club and the Chinese music club have a long history. They attend national musical contests and win many prizes every year.
Achievement of the Provincial Choir Competition • 1960 to 1968 - HCHS got every year's championship of the provincial choir competition. • 1970 - HCHS got the championship again. • 1971 - HCHS had got 10 years' championship until 1970, the Ministry of Education claimed that HCHS would perform for pre-competition example, but wouldn't be allowed to participate in the competition.
