Meishan Junior High School

Meishan Junior High traces its roots to 1956, when it was first planned as a Meishan branch of Dalin Junior High, borrowing classrooms at Meishan Elementary. The first five classrooms on its current site were built in 1958, and the school became independent in 1960 as "Chiayi County Meishan Junior High," with Jian Weizhang as its first principal. In 1968, under the nine-year compulsory education reform, it was renamed "Chiayi County Meishan Junior High School," the name it carries today. As the township's only junior high school, it draws students from every tea-farming village across the mountain.

梅山國中的歷史可追溯至民國45年（1956年），當時規劃為嘉義縣立大林中學梅山分部，借用梅山國小教室上課；民國47年（1958年）於現址興建首批5間教室；民國49年（1960年）獨立設校為「嘉義縣立梅山初級中學」，首任校長為簡維章；民國57年（1968年）因應九年國教改制，更名為「嘉義縣立梅山國民中學」，沿用至今。作為梅山鄉唯一的國中，學生來自整個山區各個茶村。
