Higley High School student Kevin Chou earned international recognition for an original musical composition that will be featured in an upcoming school concert.
Chou’s composition, “Dragon Dance,” was inspired by a winter 2024 trip to China. The piece draws on elements of traditional Chinese festivals and daily life and incorporates Western musical instrumentation.
The composition was featured at the 2025 Evening Gala of the Global K–12 Education Research Association Annual Summit in Shijiazhuang, China. The summit included 46 education leaders from 15 countries.
