Ho Lap College (可立中學), HLC, is a band-one grant-aided co-educational grammar school in San Po Kong, Kowloon, Hong Kong. Founded in 1969, it is a well-established secondary school in the area. In particular, HLC enjoys the status of one of the few "English as the Medium of Instruction" (EMI) school in the Kowloon district. The traditional Holapian culture is one characterised by its pursuit of excellence, its pride of such pursuit, and its aspiration to serve. Ho Lap College is the first government-aided secondary school sponsored by Sik Sik Yuen. Its history dates back to 1961, when a committee was set up to deal with the establishment of a new school. Mr. Wong Wan-tin was elected as the committee’s Chief Commissioner. With government funding, the school’s foundation stone laying ceremony took place on 7 October 1966, the birthday of Master Wong Tai Sin. Mr. David MacDougall, Registrar General, was the guest of honour. That year was also significant because it was the 45th anniversary of the Sik Sik Yuen. When Ho Lap College started teaching on 1 September 1969, it had 12 classes of about 500 Form1 to Form3 students.
