National Tainan First Senior High School

National Tainan First Senior High School, widely known as Tainan First Senior High or "臺南一中," was approved for founding on April 1, 1922 and opened on May 1 of that year as the "Tainan Prefectural Second Middle School" — established specifically to serve Taiwanese students in southern Taiwan, in contrast to schools that primarily served Japanese students. After 1945 it was renamed "Taiwan Provincial Tainan First Middle School," operating as a full six-year school covering both junior and senior high. In 2000, following a national-level reorganization, it took its current name and became a senior-high-only institution. Over a century after its founding, the school is widely regarded as one of Taiwan's most academically elite public high schools, with a large and influential alumni network known as the "竹園" (Bamboo Garden) alumni culture.

國立臺南第一高級中學，一般俗稱「臺南一中」，於1922年（大正11年）4月1日獲准設校，同年5月1日正式開學，初名「臺南州立臺南第二中學校」，創校宗旨即是專為招收台灣籍學生而設，有別於當時主要招收日籍學生的學校。戰後（1945年）改稱「臺灣省立臺南第一中學」，為完整六年制（含國中部與高中部）學校。2000年精省後改為現名，並轉型為純高中部。歷經百餘年，該校至今仍被公認為台灣學術聲望最高的公立高中之一，擁有龐大且具影響力的校友網絡，即所謂的「竹園」校友文化。
