An educational hub for the mountain hinterland.
Mingde began in 1980 as a branch campus of Sanxia Junior High, became an independent junior high in 1984, and grew into a complete junior-and-senior-high school in 1995 — making it one of New Taipei's three earliest public complete high schools. It is the only public school in Taiwan offering boarding at both the junior- and senior-high level, drawing students from across the surrounding mountainous region. Its tracks include general studies, a forensic-science/math experimental class, an international bilingual class, and a sports class, and the school won the most gold medals nationally at the 2023 National Secondary Schools Games. Its alumni include Olympic archery medalists.

🏫 One of New Taipei's Earliest Complete Schools
新北市最早的完全中學之一
Growing from a 1980 branch campus into a full 7–12 school by 1995, Mingde is one of only three public complete high schools founded this early in New Taipei City.
A residential anchor for the mountain hinterland.
As a residential school drawing boarding students from across the region, Mingde reflects Sanxia's long-standing role as an educational hub for the mountainous hinterland of the greater Taipei basin, where many rural families rely on boarding schools for secondary education. See the New Taipei county page for more on the region.
