A century of educating young women.
Kaohsiung Girls' Senior High School traces its founding to 1924, when it opened as Kaohsiung Prefectural Kaohsiung Girls' Higher School (高雄州立高雄高等女學校) under Japanese rule. It was renamed Taiwan Provincial Kaohsiung First Girls' Middle School in 1945 after the war, and later took its current name once Kaohsiung became a special municipality. In 2024 the school marked a full century of educating young women, celebrating alongside its long-standing counterpart, Kaohsiung Senior High School. Today it enrolls roughly 2,250 students across 63 classes, making it one of the larger academic senior highs in central Kaohsiung.
高雄女中創校於大正13年（1924年），初名「高雄州立高雄高等女學校」。二戰後於民國34年（1945年）更名為「臺灣省立高雄第一女子中學」，其後隨高雄升格為直轄市而定名為現名。民國113年（2024年）學校歡慶建校百週年，並與長期並稱的雄中共同舉辦慶祝活動。目前全校約有2,250名學生、63個班級，是高雄市區規模較大的普通型高中之一。

A landmark of Cianjin's Japanese-era schooling boom.
Kaohsiung Girls' Senior High's 1924 founding tracks the same wave of Japanese-era girls' schools built as the old port town of Takao was formally renamed “Kaohsiung” in 1920, part of a broader colonial-era push to expand secondary education in the growing city. See the Kaohsiung county page for more on the region.
