Two renamings, one shared campus history.
Lide Junior High School was founded in 1974 on 2.4 hectares of land split off from neighboring Mingde Elementary School. It was initially named Mingde Junior High, then briefly renamed Jiucheng Junior High after a naming conflict was discovered with an existing school in Keelung, before settling on its current name, Lide, in March 1975. In its early years, more than 80% of the school's students came from military families, reflecting Zuoying's identity as a major naval district and home to extensive military housing communities.
立德國中創立於民國63年（1974年），校地為2.4公頃，係從鄰近的明德國小分出。初名「明德國中」，後因與基隆一所學校校名重複而短暫改名為「舊城國中」，民國64年（1975年）3月才定名為「立德國中」。創校初期，超過八成學生來自軍人家庭，反映左營作為主要海軍軍區與眷村聚落的地方特色。

🏫 A 1974 Founding
1974年創校
Established in 1974, Lide is one of several junior highs founded in Zuoying during a period of rapid population growth around the district's naval facilities.
Rooted in Zuoying's naval housing communities.
With more than 80% of its early students from military families, and its rapid string of name changes tied to a naming conflict, Lide's history traces directly to Zuoying's identity as home to a major naval district and extensive military housing communities — a background it shares with Mingde Elementary, the school from which its campus land was carved. See the Kaohsiung county page for more on the region.
