🐉 Dragons on the Move – 𝗦𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿 𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸 𝐄𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧
From Jeju to D.C., our KISJ Dragons soared at the 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐇𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭, held June 8–12 at the University of Maryland, College Park. 🇺🇸📚
Back in March, several of our students earned the honor to represent KISJ on the national stage. This month, nine incredible students joined peers from all 50 U.S. states and territories to share powerful stories of resistance, resilience, and remembrance. 🌍💡

🎉 These awards reflect more than achievement—they reflect empathy, curiosity, and the power of youth to interpret the past in ways that shape our future.
We couldn’t be prouder of how our students represented KISJ, Korea, and themselves on the international stage. 💛🐲💚
✨ Let’s celebrate not just what they won—but what they learned.
