Currently, including visiting lecturers, the school's staff includes 4 associate professors, 10 PhDs, 22 masters, and 6 bachelors. Over 80% of the staff hold postgraduate degrees. This is a very impressive figure for a high school. In particular, HSSH receives absolute support from over 400 scientists from the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, including many leading scientists from across the country and from abroad.

To achieve success in the coming stages, in addition to steadfastly adhering to the philosophy of elite education, the school needs to define a new direction that incorporates quality culture and international integration. Emphasis should be placed on training generations of students who are both knowledgeable and highly skilled; students from specialized high schools should not only achieve their goal of studying at prestigious universities but also participate in internships and practical training abroad.
Professor Hoang Anh Tuan expressed his confidence that the leadership, staff, teachers, students, and parents will continue to strive and unite to achieve new accomplishments and make practical contributions to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities.
