From a county junior high to a complete secondary school.
Established on August 1, 1983 as "Tainan County Dawan Junior High School," the school became a "complete secondary school" (完全中學) by adding a senior-high division — designated in 2001 and fully implemented in 2003. It took its current name in 2010 after the Tainan county-city merger. Today the school enrolls roughly 2,300 students across 60 junior-high and 18 senior-high classes on a 54,048-square-meter campus equipped with a track and facilities for basketball, volleyball, badminton, and archery.
學校於1983年8月1日創立，初名「臺南縣大灣國民中學」，後於2001年獲准增設高中部、2003年正式實施，成為「完全中學」。2010年臺南縣市合併後更為現名。目前全校約2,300名學生，國中部60班、高中部18班，校地面積54,048平方公尺，設有田徑場及籃球、排球、羽球、射箭等運動設施。
