From girls' home economics to comprehensive high school.
Dajia Senior High School began in 1940 as the Dajia Home Economics Girls' School, training young women in domestic skills under Japanese rule. After Taiwan's retrocession, it was reorganized and renamed in 1946 — a date the school still observes as its founding-day anniversary — before becoming a complete junior-and-senior high school in 1948. Today it operates as a comprehensive high school offering academic, arts and design, and sports-class tracks.
大甲高級中等學校創立於1940年,前身為大甲家政女學校,於日治時期教授女子家事技能。臺灣光復後,學校於1946年改組更名——這個日期至今仍被學校視為校慶紀念日——並於1948年升格為完全中學。如今學校為綜合高中,設有普通科、美術設計科及體育班等課程。

👘 From Home Economics to Comprehensive High School
從家政女學校到綜合高中
Founded in 1940 as a girls' home-economics school, the campus was reorganized after 1945 and grew into a full junior-and-senior comprehensive high school by 1948.
🎉 A Founding Day Rooted in 1946
校慶訂於1946年更名日
The school still marks its founding-day anniversary on the date of its 1946 renaming, keeping the retrocession-era chapter of its history alive in campus tradition.
🎨 Arts, Design, and Sport
美術設計與體育並重
Beyond its academic track, the school runs dedicated arts-and-design and sports-class programs, reflecting its growth from a single-purpose girls' school into a broader comprehensive campus.
A campus that remembers 1946.
The school's continued observance of its 1946 renaming as founding day ties its institutional memory directly to Taiwan's retrocession era, a marker of transition shared across many Dajia-area schools of the period. See the Taichung county page for more on the region.
