Datong Junior High School

Datong Junior High traces its origins to 1962, when it began as a borrowed-classroom branch class of Sanxing Junior High in the remote settlement of Tuchang — a reflection of how difficult it was to reach secondary education from Datong's scattered mountain villages. The school became independent in 1969, alongside Taiwan's move to nine-year compulsory education, and its campus was relocated twice more, eventually settling on its present site on "Duli Mountain" (獨立山) after a flood destroyed an earlier building site. Today it remains the only junior high school serving Datong Township, and offers Atayal Indigenous language courses as part of its curriculum.

大同國中的歷史可追溯至民國51年（1962年），最初是三星國中在偏遠的土場借用教室設立的分班，反映出大同鄉山區聚落要接受中等教育的不易。民國58年（1969年），隨著台灣推行九年國民義務教育，學校正式獨立設校，其後校址歷經兩次遷移，一次還因為洪水沖毀原訂建校地基，最終落腳於現今「獨立山」校區。如今，它仍是大同鄉唯一的一所國中，並開設泰雅族語課程與文化教學。
