From a commercial branch school to a full vocational campus.
Fongshan Vocational High opened in 1956 as a branch of the Taiwan Provincial Kaohsiung Commercial Vocational School, becoming an independent institution in 1965. An industrial division — covering fields such as molds, machining, and furniture and woodworking — was added in 1981, and the school now also runs an attached continuing-education division for adult and part-time students.
鳳山高商創立於民國45年（1956年），初為台灣省立高雄商業職業學校分校，民國54年（1965年）獨立設校。民國70年（1981年）增設工科部門，涵蓋模具、機械加工、家具木工等領域，並附設進修部，服務成人與在職學生。
