History
editThe school, originally called đài nam châu lập đài nam đệ nhị trung học giáo ( "Tainan Second High School" ), was established in 1922 by theGovernor-General of Taiwanto achieve a Japanese and Taiwanese 'learning together' policy. The Tainan Second High School provided high school education for ethnic Taiwanese, while Tainan First High School was for ethnic Japanese from mainland Japan.
Originally set up as a five-year high school, it was changed to a four-year school in 1943 due to the start of World War II.[2]
After the war, Taiwan was handed to the Republic of China, whose high school system was a 3-3-year one. In 1959, ShinHua Campus was established for senior high school students in ShinHua Township, Tainan County. The campus became independent in 1966 and was renamed to National ShinHua Senior High School. In 1970, Tainan Second High School was renamed to Provincial Tainan First High School.[2]After Tainan was no longer included inTaiwan Province,the school became nationally funded.
