叔何顯理






在香港一間以她命名的學校 - 北角顯理中學


叔何顯理（Mrs. Henrietta Hall Shuck，1817年10月28日－1844年11月27日）是美南浸信會第一位到大中華地區的女傳教士。開辦香港的第一所女校。


叔何顯理於1817年10月28日在美國弗吉尼亞州基瑪洛市出生。父親為何愛迪生牧師。她17歲那年，她讀畢《耶德遜夫人傳》，深深體會神的旨意，希望把神的救恩帶到東方。同年與叔未士牧師結婚。在1836年一行22人抵達澳門，成立學校及教會。再於1842年3月移居香港。是香港居民首位西藉婦女，也是香港的第一所女校的創辦人。


她一家到港後，熱心致力於教育方面和傳道工作，得到了港督砵甸乍爵士批地興建教堂及豁免稅務，亦掃助50元建築費，命名為「皇后道浸信會」，成為基督教在中國第一所私有產業。及後又成立「街市浸信會」




叔何顯理之墓


可惜叔何顯理於生下四子後得病，而且病情不輕，體重只有85磅。1844年11月27日，她生下第五子後因身體衰弱而逝世，享年27歲。身後葬於香港跑馬地西洋香港墳場。


現在香港島的顯理中學就是為紀念何顯理而命名。
