The Jeonju Girls' High School Alumni Association announced the inauguration of Choi Kyung-eun as the new president at the inauguration and the establishment ceremony of the 15th executive committee held at the Ongeul Hall of the La Han Hotel in Jeonju on the 21st.

Yoo Jung-hwa, the 14th president, stated that during the past two years, she led the alumni reconciliation, support for the alma mater, and the centennial commemorative project, raising a fund of 2.5 billion won, surpassing the target amount, to promote four major vision projects and commemorative projects. She then urged for the continuous interest and participation of alumni to ensure the smooth completion of the long-awaited project of building a library for the centennial anniversary.

The 15th alumni association plans to strengthen its organization in areas such as general affairs, finance, planning, publicity, culture, and volunteering until May 2028, promoting support for the alma mater, intergenerational exchange, and volunteer activities systematically.

Superintendent Chun Ho-sung remarked, "Jeonju Girls' High School is a school that represents not only Jeollabuk-do but also the Republic of Korea," and expressed, "I will spare no effort in supporting current students to pursue even greater dreams, continuing the school's 100-year tradition."

Established in 1926 as the Jeonju Public Girls' High School, Jeonju Girls' High School has been the cradle of women's education in Jeollabuk-do, producing over 33,000 graduates. In May of last year, the centennial commemorative hall was opened, and the commemorative tower was unveiled, commemorating a century of history.
