From girls' school to coeducational campus.
Guting Junior High School was founded in 1960 as "Taipei Municipal Guting Girls' Junior High School," a girls-only institution. It was renamed "Taipei Municipal Guting Girls' National Junior High School" in 1968 with the introduction of nine-year compulsory education, and finally became fully coeducational as "Taipei Municipal Guting Junior High School" in 1991. The school's three name changes track a broader shift in Taiwan's public education system, from single-sex to coeducational schooling. In 1994 the school established a dedicated fine-arts class (美術班), which remains one of its signature programs today.
古亭國中創立於民國49年（1960年），初名「臺北市立古亭女子初級中學」，為女子專屬學校。民國57年（1968年）九年國教實施後改稱「臺北市立古亭女子國民中學」，直至民國80年（1991年）始改制為男女合校的「臺北市立古亭國民中學」。三次更名見證了台灣公立教育從單一性別走向男女合校的變遷。民國83年（1994年）本校成立美術班，至今仍是學校的特色課程之一。
