A century of business education in South District.
National Tainan Commercial & Vocational Senior High School, known locally as "Nanshang" (南商), traces its roots to 1921, when it opened as the Public Tainan Commercial Supplementary School and was formally organized the following year. Over a century later it remains one of the oldest vocational commercial schools in southern Taiwan, with a campus of about 3.3 hectares enrolling roughly 1,659 day-division students across 51 classes plus 143 evening-division students in 12 classes. The school has long specialized in accounting, business management, and international trade tracks, and in November 2022 it opened the first civic sports center built inside a national vocational high school, complete with a climbing wall and fitness studio open to the surrounding community.
