Established in 1914 during Japanese rule over Taiwan, it was the first senior high school in Taiwan's central and southern regions. In the late 1980s and 1990s, the school constructed dedicated Art and Science Buildings with an observatory, expanding its educational scope beyond traditional academics.
The school has shaped local educational values for generations and remains a center where students develop diverse skills across academics and arts. Walking through campus, you notice students engaged in creative projects and scientific exploration, reflecting the institution's commitment to broad learning.
The school is located near National Cheng Kung University, a public park, and the city library, making it easily accessible by public transportation. Bear in mind this is an active learning environment, so visiting outside class hours offers better opportunities to explore the grounds.
In 1996, this school became the first in Taiwan to connect to a university's academic database via the internet, revolutionizing access to educational resources. This early digital link with National Cheng Kung University allowed students and teachers to retrieve information faster than peers at other institutions.
