Independent since 1977, in Taiwan's coffee country.
Donghe Junior High began in 1974 as a branch of Gukeng Junior High School, becoming an independent school on August 1, 1977. The school is genuinely located in Gukeng Township — a detail worth flagging, since some county-level directories have listed it under neighboring Dongshi Township in error. Gukeng is famous across Taiwan as the island's leading coffee-growing region, and the school's community reflects that distinctive local industry.
東和國中前身為古坑國中的分校，成立於1974年（民國63年），並於1977年（民國66年）8月1日正式獨立設校。學校確實座落於古坑鄉——這一點值得特別說明，因為部分縣府層級的名冊曾誤將其列為鄰近東勢鄉的學校。古坑鄉是全台灣最負盛名的咖啡產地，學校所在的社區也深受這項在地特色產業影響。
