Heritage

Under the Japanese occupation, our school was the first high school founded by and intended for the Taiwanese.

           In 1915, under the Japanese occupation, Taiwanese forefathers Lin Lieh-tang, Lin Hsien-tang, Lin Hsiung-cheng, Tsai Lien-fang, and Ku Hsien-jung pooled resources and donated land to build the high school to educate Taiwanese students with a view to awakening Taiwanese people’s national and cultural awareness.

       After the Retrocession, through the continued efforts of all the principals, our school has achieved its status as a top school and has nurtured numerous elites in various fields.

 

Development

           Founded since 1915, the school has undergone several changes in its official name. In 2000, it finally got the name it now adopts: National Taichung First Senior High School.
