National Tainan Second Senior High School

National Tainan Second Senior High School — known locally as "Nan-er-zhong" (南二中) — was founded on May 11, 1914, under Japanese rule as "Taiwan Governor-General's Tainan Middle School," the second public middle school established in Taiwan and the first in central or southern Taiwan. It was renamed several times over the following decades: Tainan Prefecture's Tainan First Middle School in 1922, Taiwan Provincial Tainan Second Middle School after the 1945 handover to the Republic of China government — a date the school now celebrates as its founding anniversary, December 8 — Taiwan Provincial Tainan Second Senior High School in 1961, and finally National Tainan Second Senior High School in 2000. Originally established mainly to educate Japanese settler youth during the colonial period, it is today, alongside Tainan First Senior High ("南一中"), one of the two oldest and most prestigious public boys' senior high schools in Tainan.
