From a girls' practical school to a modern vocational campus.
National Tseng-Wen Home Economics and Commerce Vocational High School was founded on March 31, 1938, as "Tainan Prefecture Tseng-Wen Practical Girls' School" (台南州立曾文實踐女學校), and was renamed "Tainan Prefecture Public Tseng-Wen Home Economics Girls' School" in 1941. Now offering programs in business management, information technology, advertising design, and food and hospitality service, the school has shifted from its original all-girls home-economics focus to a coeducational vocational school with diverse tracks. It is one of two national vocational high schools located in Madou, making the district an unusually concentrated hub of technical and vocational education for the region.
國立曾文高級家事商業職業學校創立於昭和13年（1938年）3月31日，初名「台南州立曾文實踐女學校」，昭和16年（1941年）改名「台南州立曾文家政女學校」。如今設有企業管理、資訊科技、廣告設計、餐旅服務等科系，從創校時純女子家政教育，轉型為兼收男女、科別多元的職業學校。學校是麻豆區兩所國立職業高中之一，使麻豆成為區域內技職教育資源特別集中的地區。

Domestic skills for an agrarian era.
As an original "practical girls' school," its founding curriculum in home economics and needlework reflected the domestic-skills education expected of young women in Madou's agrarian pomelo- and sugar-farming households of the late Japanese colonial era.
