A township campaign for secondary education.
Touwu Junior High was founded in 1962, initially as "Miaoli County Touwu Junior Middle School," established under the national "one village-one elementary school, one township-one junior high" policy that expanded secondary education access across Taiwan. A local preparatory committee of 18 members organized the founding effort, and construction moved remarkably fast — new campus buildings were completed by October 1962, just months after the school was founded.
頭屋國中創校於1962年（民國51年），初名「苗栗縣頭屋初級中學」，係響應全國「一村一國小、一鄉一國中」政策而設立。地方18人籌備委員會積極奔走籌辦，建校速度相當快——新校舍於創校僅數月後的1962年10月即已完工啟用。
