From a naming dispute to an experimental-education pioneer.
Daye Junior High School was founded in 1970-71, initially named Chiayi County Chongwen Junior High School before being renamed "Daye" due to a naming conflict with a school in Pingtung. In 1999, it was designated a natural sciences and living-technology demonstration school, and in 2008 it opened the city's first junior-high "Love Library." It remains the only public junior high in Chiayi with a swimming pool. In 2023, it became Chiayi City's first public experimental education school, and was renamed Daye Experimental Junior High.
大業國中創立於民國59至60年間（1970-71年），初名「嘉義縣崇文國民中學」，因與屏東某校名稱相近而更名為「大業」。民國88年（1999年）獲指定為自然科學與生活科技示範學校。民國97年（2008年），該校設立嘉義市第一座國中「愛心圖書館」，也是嘉義市唯一設有游泳池的公立國中。民國112年（2023年），成為嘉義市第一所公立實驗教育學校，更名為大業實驗國民中學。
