A landmark school at the foot of the mountain.
National Hsinchu Senior High School was founded in April 1922 under Japanese rule as "新竹州立新竹中學校," a five-year general middle school for boys, later shortened to four years in 1941. After Taiwan's retrocession in 1945, it was renamed Taiwan Provincial Hsinchu Middle School, and became a senior-high-only institution in 1970. The school sits at the foot of Shibajianshan (Eighteen Peaks Mountain), neighboring Hsinchu Girls' Senior High School as well as National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University and National Tsing Hua University — placing it at the heart of the city's academic and research corridor. Its motto, "誠、慧、健、毅" (Sincerity, Wisdom, Health, Perseverance), reflects over a century of educational tradition.
新竹高中創校於1922年(大正11年)日治時期,原名「新竹州立新竹中學校」,是一所五年制的男子中學,1941年學制縮短為四年。1945年台灣光復後,改名為「台灣省立新竹中學」,1970年起改制為純高中部。學校座落於十八尖山山麓,與新竹女中比鄰而居,並與國立陽明交通大學、國立清華大學相鄰,位處新竹學術與研究廊帶的核心地帶。校訓「誠、慧、健、毅」承載了超過百年的教育傳統。
