The Lunar New Year celebration of Howard County Chinese School has now grown into a highly anticipated multicultural event in Howard County and its surrounding areas. This annual grand occasion blends the lively atmosphere of a traditional temple fair, diverse cultural exhibitions, and splendid performances, attracting enthusiastic participation from numerous community residents, students’ parents, and guests from all walks of life each year.

This is more than just a holiday celebration — it’s a vibrant stage for sharing Chinese heritage and a heartfelt gathering that brings our community together. Rain or shine, year after year, we’ve stayed true to our mission of keeping these traditions alive, breathing new life into them far from our homeland, and fostering a warm sense of connection and belonging for everyone in our community.

ChatGPT said: We warmly look forward to making our next Lunar New Year celebration even more exciting and moving — a grander showcase of the unique beauty of Chinese culture. We sincerely invite you to join us once again in celebrating this treasured tradition, and together, let’s continue writing the next wonderful chapter in our shared cultural story.

While deeply committed to Chinese language education, HCCS has always worked to promote traditional Chinese culture within the surrounding community. Through a wide range of community service programs, led by parent volunteers and centered on youth participation, we have not only built bridges for cultural exchange, but also significantly enhanced the visibility and influence of the Chinese American community in mainstream society.

As the largest Chinese American community organization in Howard County, HCCS has always stayed true to its mission of serving the community, working to build a platform that connects the Chinese American community with the broader, diverse society. As a fully volunteer-run, non-profit, non-political organization, we continue to face many challenges in expanding our reach and enhancing the quality of our services. We warmly welcome the participation and support of people from all walks of life, whether through collaboration ideas or volunteer work, every contribution helps our community reach new heights.

Here are some of our signature community service programs:

  •  Youth Ambassador Program (YA): Shaping future leaders with cross-cultural communication skills.
  • Howard County Youth Engagement Program (YEP): Building a collaborative and caring learning community.
  • Howard County Plastic Reduction and Environment Protection (PREP):Promoting sustainable environmental practices.

We are confident that through ongoing community service and cross-cultural exchange, HCCS will continue to make a positive contribution to fostering community integration and enriching cultural diversity.

The Howard County Chinese Cultural Center (H4C) is a community organization operated under the management of HCCS. Its primary role is to promote traditional Chinese arts in the community by hosting a variety of cultural and artistic performances.
