The project of building an online system, www.hopechineseschool.org, for Hope Chinese School was launched in October 2002. The goal of the system is to facilitate and improve the registraiton process, which has been a labor intensive manual process, and make the administrative process easier for many parents who are commited to encouraging their children to learn Chinese along with other subjects. After many hours of work, the first phase of the project was completed and launched in May 2003.

Thanks to the following dedicated volunteers who participated in the project from the beginning to the end. Also, thanks to several parents who helped during the pilot test phase.
