Han Chiang High School(韩江中学)

韩江中学

1939年，韩江中学第一届董事长已故林连登先生，因当时学子就读日众，原有吉宁街的校舍不敷容纳，遂毅然购现有校地，面积31英亩，值时价30万元，捐献韩江中学兴建校舍，增办高小部。

1950年7月15日，韩江中学举行奠基礼，着手兴工建筑校舍，迄1951年春，完成教室20间，食堂及礼堂，2月1日正式上课，因此奠定韩江中学百年树人之基础，创立万世不朽之伟业。

1962年当时教育制度改变，全马各华文中学纷纷改制为全津贴的国民型中学，本校董事部议决不接受改制而成为华文独立中学，自筹自办，不受政府分文 津贴。在众善心大德的支持及热心捐献下，韩江中学完善的硬体建设一一的落实(室内体育馆图书馆、商科楼)，一时韩江中学被称为大马最具规模，设备最完善的 独立中学。

韩江中学自创迄今已过半个世纪，七十年代及八十年代初期，学生来自全马各州!及邻近东合国家，尤其以泰国及印尼为首，学生人数一度达三千余名。韩江 中学肩负维护及发扬中华优秀文化的重任，培养实用之工商科学人材，以适应环境之需求。除了坚持母语教育，1998年更创立了韩江ELS语言中心，提供高素 质英文教学，1999年设立两间冷气电脑室，以提供学生电脑资讯课程。同时更创办韩江学院，开 拓学子升学的管道。

从韩江中学的创校及发展路程，可见韩江虽然历尽几许艰辛，仍然披荆斩棘，排除万难，就像初升的太阳，终于发出万丈光芒，照耀在马来西亚的土地，它更肩负看发扬中华文化的使命，为马来西亚华教作出贡献。
