Profile
About · 學校簡介

Born from a 1990s population boom.

Guangming Junior High traces its roots to a preparatory office set up in 1996 at Jinxing Elementary School, formally opening as an independent junior high in 1999 to absorb the rapid population growth of Nankan in the 1990s — enrollment in the catchment area grew more than 166% between 1992 and 2001. Renamed to its current name in 2014, the school today enrolls about 1,500 students across 54 classes and runs English gifted classes (since 2016) and math/science gifted classes (since 2017). It won the Ministry of Education's Reading Stone Award in 2020.

光明國中源自民國85年(1996年)在錦興國小設立的籌備處,於民國88年(1999年)正式獨立設校,以因應1990年代南崁地區人口激增——學區人口在民國81年至90年間成長逾166%。民國103年(2014年)更名為現名。學校現有54班、學生約1,500人,並設有英語資優班(自民國105年起)與數理資優班(自民國106年起),並於民國109年(2020年)榮獲教育部閱讀磐石獎。

Local Culture · 在地文化

A record of Nankan's fast suburbanization.

🏙️

Guangming Junior High exists because of Nankan's transformation from a farm township into a Taoyuan-airport-adjacent commuter suburb. As new housing filled in the historic Nankan area through the 1990s, the neighborhood's school-age population outgrew existing schools, and Guangming was built to absorb the overflow — a direct architectural record of Luzhu's fast suburbanization near the capital region and the airport corridor. See the Taoyuan county page for more on the region.
