A school born of growing pains.
Beishi Junior High was established in 1989, carved out of neighboring Shalu Junior High as Shalu's population boomed and its original school could no longer accommodate the growing student body. The school takes its name from Beishi, a rural settlement on the Dadu Tableland, reflecting its roots in the district's older agricultural landscape even as the surrounding area urbanized.
北勢國中創立於民國78年（1989年），因應沙鹿地區人口快速成長、沙鹿國中不堪負荷而分設。校名源自大肚台地上「北勢」這個較為古老的聚落，見證了沙鹿從農業地景邁向都市化的歷程。
What makes this school worth knowing.
📈 Born of a Population Boom
因人口成長而分設
Founded in 1989 when Shalu's rapid growth left the original Shalu Junior High overcrowded, prompting the district to open a new school.
🏞️ Named for an Old Tableland Settlement
大肚台地上的老聚落
The school's name honors Beishi, a rural community on the Dadu Tableland whose history predates Shalu's modern urban growth.
🏫 Part of a Postwar School-Building Wave
戰後分校設校潮的一環
Beishi Junior High is one of several schools born from Shalu Junior High's overcrowding in the late 20th century, alongside Luliao Junior High.
A name from the old tableland.
Beishi takes its name from the Dadu Tableland's "north terrace" landform — one of several place-names across Shalu, like Luliao and Luyang, that trace the district's older rural geography even as new schools and neighborhoods have grown up around them. See the Taichung county page for more on the region.
