The mother school of Longtan's secondary education.
Longtan Junior High was established in August 1961 as the Longtan branch of Yangmei Middle School, under branch director Chen Ji-chang. It became an independent school in May 1966, renamed "Taoyuan County Longtan Junior High School," and took its present form in 1968 when nine-year compulsory education was implemented nationwide. As the oldest and original junior high in Longtan town center, it served as the "mother school" from which three later Longtan junior highs — Lingyun, Wuhan, and Shimen — originated as branch campuses before going independent, making it the historic hub of secondary education in the district. It was renamed to its current Taoyuan City designation in December 2014.
