Serving 12 villages of the Hakka countryside.
Jiadong Junior High began in 1967 as a branch of Chaozhou Junior High School, before being formally named Jiadong Junior High in 1968. Located in Yuguang Village, its school district spans a wide catchment of 12 villages across Jiadong Township, making it the central secondary school for this rural Hakka community. Today the school runs 7 classes with 154 students. It has recently completed a new school building, celebrated with a ribbon-cutting event featuring a "藤球" (rattan-ball, related to sepak takraw) demonstration, and has seen more than eight principals lead the school across its history.
佳冬國中創校於1967年(民國56年),最初為潮州國中分校,1968年(民國57年)正式定名為佳冬國中。學校位於玉光村,學區範圍廣達佳冬鄉12個村里,是這座客家農業鄉鎮的中學教育核心。目前全校共有7個班級、154名學生。學校近期完成新校舍興建,並以「藤球」表演作為剪綵活動的亮點,歷任已有8位以上校長帶領校務發展。

Rooted in Jiadong's Hakka farming heritage.
Jiadong Township (佳冬鄉) is a historic Hakka farming community, home to the Xiao family mansion (蕭家古厝, built 1846) — Taiwan's only surviving five-hall six-courtyard Hakka walled compound — and long known for its well-preserved traditional Hakka architecture. Jiadong Junior High serves the broad farming population of this township, carrying that Hakka heritage forward into its students' secondary education. See the Pingtung county page for more on the region.
