National Hualien Girls' Senior High School

National Hualien Girls' Senior High School traces its history back to 1927, when it opened under Japanese rule as Karenko Prefectural Girls' High School — the very first secondary school established anywhere in eastern Taiwan, initially serving mostly Japanese students. Its current campus on Jinghua Street has stood since 1930. The school became a national institution in 2000 and has weathered the region's natural challenges, including damage from the 2024 Hualien earthquake, while continuing to educate generations of young women under a school motto of warmth, respect, diligence, and frugality.

花蓮女中的歷史可追溯至1927年，日治時期以「花蓮港廳立花蓮港高等女學校」之名創校——是台灣東部設立的第一所中等學校，創校初期學生以日籍為主。現址菁華街校區自1930年啟用至今。學校於民國89年（2000年）改隸國立，並曾在2024年花蓮地震中受損，但仍持續以「溫、恭、勤、儉」校訓培育一代又一代的女學生。
