About the James A. Handrich Program
The James A. Handrich Service Leadership Endowed Fund was established in 2007 by HKIS and alumni Desmond Chu ‘91 and Kenneth Koo ‘79 in honor of James (Jim) Handrich, who retired in 2007 after 24 years at HKIS. The endowed fund allows students to pursue personal projects to serve the community. In 2022, the program was expanded to include younger students in Middle School and Upper Primary. The program also expanded to support partnerships with NGOs, instead of only personal projects, to help students understand the lasting impact of ongoing NGO work.
