Dazhi Senior High School

Dazhi Senior High School opened in 1964 as a junior high, built on the former site of a Taiwan Provincial Training Corps facility that had itself been a Japanese-era naval training ground constructed in 1932. It originally admitted only male students after formally converting to junior-high status in 1968, later becoming coeducational.

In the 1990s wave of school upgrades that created several of Taipei's "complete middle schools" (combining junior and senior high divisions), Dazhi became a full complete school in 1998 under a 1997 preparatory committee led by principal Yu Lin. The campus sits on Bei'an Road — the district's namesake corridor — connecting the school directly to the story of how Dazhi grew from isolated farmland into a modern Taipei neighborhood.

大直高中創校於1964年（民國53年），初期為國中部，校地前身為臺灣省訓練團設施，該處更早則是1932年興建的日治時期海軍訓練場。1968年正式改制為國中後，一度僅招收男學生，其後才改為男女兼收。

1990年代臺北市推動「完全中學」改制風潮，大直於1997年由校長游麟籌備、1998年正式改制為兼具國、高中部的完全中學。校園座落於北安路——中山區得名的重要道路，也將學校與大直地區從偏遠農地蛻變為現代臺北郊區的歷程緊密相連。
