Shitan Junior High School

Shitan Junior High opened in 1966 as a branch of Dahu Junior High and became fully independent in 1968. It originally drew students from five townships, including Shitan, Dahu, and Gongguan. The 9/21 earthquake of 1999 destroyed two of its teaching buildings, and the campus was rebuilt in Hakka architectural style, completed in 2003. Over more than 40 years, the school has produced roughly 5,000 graduates, though it is now a "mini school" with only three classes.

獅潭國中於民國55年（1966年）以大湖國中分校形式成立，民國57年（1968年）正式獨立設校。創校初期招收來自獅潭、大湖、公館等五個鄉鎮的學生。民國88年（1999年）九二一大地震摧毀兩棟教學大樓，校園以客家建築風格重建，於民國92年（2003年）完工。四十餘年來，學校已培育約5,000名畢業生，如今則是僅有3班的迷你學校。
