A junior high built a nationwide reputation on the recorder.
Minzu Junior High School opened in August 1981, taking its name from "Nationalism" (民族主義), one of the Three Principles of the People — echoing the naming logic behind so many schools in Sanmin District, and founded the same year as its elementary-school counterpart, Minzu Elementary. Since 2004, the school has run a self-contained recorder (木笛) music-talent class, reportedly the only program of its kind in Taiwan built entirely around a single instrument.
民族國中創校於民國70年（1981年）8月，校名取自「三民主義」中的「民族主義」，與三民區內多所同樣以三民主義命名的學校一脈相承，並與同年創校的民族國小相互輝映。自2004年起，學校設有木笛音樂才能班，據稱是全台唯一以單一樂器為主軸的音樂資優班。
