Ho Tung Technical School For Girls (何東女子職業學校) was a government school founded on a donation from Sir Robert Hotung (何東爵士) in 1953[1]. It was located in Causeway Bay. In 1970, the Chinese title of the school was changed to 何東官立工業女中學. In September 1998, it was renamed Ho Tung Secondary School (何東中學).

In the early days of establishment, the School provided a three-year secondary course which included specially selected vocational subjects such as dress-making, cookery, laundry-work, house-craft and commercial practice for girls. Later, the school also taught science subjects such as physics, chemistry, biology and computer studies to meet the needs of students and to increase students' employability. [2]
