About · 學校簡介

Taitung's only school just for girls.

The school was established in 1940 during the Japanese colonial era as the "Taitung Prefectural Taitung Higher Girls' School," one of a network of girls' schools built across Taiwan under Japanese rule. It was renamed after the 1945 Retrocession and became a national school in 2000. Today it remains the only girls' senior high school in Taitung County, serving as a designated priority school for Indigenous students and a member of Taiwan's International Education Travel Alliance (Eastern Taiwan branch). Notably, the school keeps October 25 — Retrocession Day — as its founding anniversary, tying its institutional memory directly to the end of Japanese rule.

學校創立於1940年(日治時期),初名「臺東廳立臺東高等女學校」,是日治時期臺灣各地女子學校網絡的一員。1945年臺灣光復後更名,2000年改制為國立學校。目前仍是臺東縣唯一的女子高級中學,並為原住民學生優先入學指定學校,同時也是臺灣國際教育旅行聯盟(東臺灣分會)成員。學校特別以10月25日「臺灣光復節」作為校慶紀念日,將校史直接連結至日治時期的結束。
