Named for the man who opened Yilan.
Wusha Junior High began in 1974 as a branch campus of Jiaoxi Junior High School (礁溪國中吳沙分部), becoming independent in 1977 as Yilan County Wusha Junior High School. The school takes its name from Wu Sha (吳沙), the legendary Han pioneer leader who led the first organized Han Chinese settlement expedition into the Lanyang Plain via Toucheng in the late 18th century. Today the school maintains active sports programs and an online teaching platform, along with anti-bullying and mental-health support hotlines for students.
吳沙國中前身為民國63年（1974年）成立的礁溪國中吳沙分部，民國66年（1977年）獨立設校，定名為宜蘭縣立吳沙國民中學。校名取自「吳沙」，即18世紀末率領先民自頭城進入蘭陽平原、開啟漢人有組織拓墾的傳奇拓荒者。學校現今持續推動體育活動與線上教學平台，並設有反霸凌及心理健康支持專線。
