The only junior high serving Nanxi's mountain villages.
Nanxi Junior High School was established on August 1, 1968 as “Tainan County Nanxi Junior High School.” Preparations began two years earlier in 1966, when Yujing Junior High teacher Yang Ling-guo was appointed preparatory director; the school's first principal was Wang Mao-de. Over more than five decades, the school has graduated over 37 cohorts and roughly 8,100 alumni, many of whom have gone on to graduate study, with several alumni holding master's or doctoral degrees. Today it runs Taiwan Mother Language Day programming and a health-promotion program, and its school meals use only domestically sourced pork and beef.
