The National Tainan First Senior High School (Chinese: 國立臺南第一高級中學) is a public senior high school in Tainan City, Taiwan. The school was established in 1922. It is considered one of the most prestigious high schools in Taiwan,[1] usually only accepting students who rank in the top 3 percentile of the Taiwan Basic Scholastic Test.
History
The school was established in 1922 by the Governor-General of Taiwan in order to achieve a Japanese and Taiwanese learning together policy. Tainan Second High School provided high school education for local Taiwanese, while Tainan First High School was for Japanese. Originally set up as a five-year high school, it was changed to a four-year high school in 1943 due to the start of World War II.[2]
After the war, Taiwan was governed by the R.O.C., 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, and 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]
