What is Hibiscus Focus?
Hibiscus Focus is a newsletter started as part of our IB CAS project. CAS encourages students to take on meaningful projects that promote personal growth and community engagement. The goal of Hibiscus Focus is to provide high schoolers and students with a platform to share their writing—whether it’s personal essays, class papers, or informational writing. Designed by students and for students, this website celebrates creativity, hard work, and the power of sharing ideas.

ABOUT THE FOUNDING DIRECTOR/EIC
My name is Mia and I'm a junior taking the IB Diploma Program. In my free time, I practice Mexican and Peruvian folklorico, and I am part of Girl Scouts Troop 1552. For my IB CAS project, I wanted to create a space where students like me can publish writing that they are proud of. My goal is for this website to become a collection of diverse writings and artworks from students interested in publishing their expressive work.
