PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE Jo, Wooyoung (Principal of Inha High School)

Hello, students. First of all, congratulations on publishing the 25th
edition of 'INHA SQUARE.' Despite your busy schedules filled with
training camp and school trips, all your club members worked hard
to publish the English newspaper.I appreciate all of the members and
the club teachers.
Dear students, school is a place where you prepare for the ability
to move forward in society. We can broadly divide these abilities
into two categories. One is the academic ability to handle your tasks
effectively in any field, and the other is the ability to coexist with
others, cultivating 'good character.
'What exactly is 'good character'? It involves getting along well
with family, friends, teachers, and people in your surroundings.
To achieve this, Recognizing the existence of others and respecting
their personalities is essential. It is about communicating, being
considerate, and maintaining harmonious relationships. I will strive,
as the principal, to make the school environment so that students can develop excellent academic
abilities and foster 'good character.'
Beloved students of Inha High School! Be proud of attending Inha High School, and let's strive
together to become dignified students of Inha High School with outstanding academic achievements
and 'good character.' Thank you.

3. The 3 Habits What We Earned from COVID-19
Pandemic

The COVID pandemic has changed many things in our lives.
So, we would like to think about the habits we newly earned
and became a must in our lives.
The first is 'using health masks.' Before the COVID-19
pandemic, people did not usually use health masks, even
during flu season. However, after the pandemic began,
everyone started using health masks to protect themselves.
Nowadays, some people still habitually use health masks
in their everyday lives, mainly when they use public
transportation or go to places where many people gather.
The second is 'communicate and work untactly.' Before
the COVID-19 pandemic, people at many workplaces or
