The founding school of Shalu's secondary education.
Shalu Junior High opened in 1961 as the district's first junior high school, initially taking over six wooden classrooms from Shalu Elementary School. As Shalu's population grew rapidly through the 1960s to 1980s, the school became so overcrowded that it eventually spun off two new junior highs — Beishi and Luliao — to absorb the overflow. Today it remains the founding institution of secondary education in the district.
沙鹿國中創立於民國50年（1961年），是沙鹿地區第一所國中，草創初期借用沙鹿國小六間木造教室上課。隨著沙鹿人口在1960至1980年代快速成長，學校一度人滿為患，因而先後分設出北勢國中與鹿寮國中，分擔就學壓力。至今仍是沙鹿地區中等教育的創始學校。

🪵 Six Wooden Classrooms to Start
六間木造教室草創
Shalu Junior High opened in 1961 by borrowing six wooden classrooms from Shalu Elementary School next door, before eventually building its own campus.
🌳 The Mother School of Two Others
分設出兩所國中的母校
As Shalu boomed between the 1960s and 1980s, overcrowding at Shalu Junior High led directly to the founding of both Beishi and Luliao Junior Highs.

As the oldest junior high in the district, Shalu Junior High anchors the history of secondary education for the whole area.
A record of postwar growth.
Shalu Junior High's crowded decades are a direct record of the district's rapid postwar population growth — a boom so fast that one school's overflow became the seed of two more, a pattern repeated across Shalu's education history. See the Taichung county page for more on the region.
