A name that bridges two districts.
Cishan-Meinong Senior High School was established in 1968, absorbing the senior-high students of the former Kaohsiung County Qishan Middle School. Its name, "旗美," combines Qishan (旗) and neighboring Meinong (美), reflecting a location near the border of the two districts, although the campus itself sits within Cishan — this is the public, national school, distinct from a similarly named private school located in neighboring Meinong District. Today the school enrolls roughly 655–671 students across 27 classes, offering vocational tracks in multimedia design and child care alongside a technology-forward international-education program, with a college-admission rate above 80%.
國立旗美高級中學創校於民國57年(1968年),承接原高雄縣立旗山中學的高中部學生。校名「旗美」結合旗山、美濃兩地地名,反映其地理位置鄰近兩區交界,惟校址實際座落於旗山區內——本校為公立國立學校,與鄰近美濃區另一所校名相近的私立學校並非同一機構。現有約655至671名學生、27班,設有多媒體設計、幼兒保育等職業類科,並發展科技導向的國際教育課程,大學升學率逾八成。

At the border of Qishan and Meinong.
The school's name reflects its position near the border of Cishan and Meinong districts, though the campus itself is fully within Cishan — a reminder that Kaohsiung's inland districts have long overlapped in daily life even where administrative lines divide them. See the Kaohsiung county page for more on the region.
