History

The Affiliated High School of Sichuan University was founded in 1908. After several name changes, it was renamed as "Chengdu No. 12 Middle School" in 1953.[2] This name was deeply rooted in Chengdu. Till now, many local residents still refer the school as "No. 12 Middle School".

In 2003, The School resumed its initial name, "The Affiliated High School of Sichuan University", after incorporating its neighbor, Chengdu No. 29 Middle School, which only offered 7-9 grades education at that time. In 2009, Chengdu No. 50 Middle School was merged into the Affiliated High School, bringing a new campus to it.[3]
