Named for two centuries of oyster farming.
Heliao Junior High School serves Zihguan District's coastal community, named for the roughly 200-year-old oyster-farming huts ("蚵寮," literally "oyster shacks") built along the estuary by settlers from Zhangzhou and Quanzhou in Fujian. Detailed founding records aren't readily available, but the school continues to serve families in this historic fishing community today. It is a wholly separate institution from a similarly named elementary school in Tainan's Beimen District.
蚵寮國中服務梓官區的沿海社區，校名源自漳州、泉州移民沿河口所建、約200年歷史的養蚵寮舍（「蚵寮」，即「牡蠣小屋」）。詳細創校紀錄尚未取得，但學校持續服務這個歷史悠久的漁村社區。本校與台南市北門區同名的國小為完全獨立、互不相關的學校。
