Zhongshan Girls' Senior High School

Zhongshan Girls' Senior High School traces its origins to 1897, when it opened as a Japanese-era girls' vocational school in Shilin (士林女子學校) — teaching Japanese, artificial flower-making, weaving, and sewing, and standing as one of the earliest formal schools for girls in Taiwan.

After World War II it became "Taipei No. 2 Girls' Middle School," with December 8 — the date of the school's formal 1945 postwar handover — fixed as its anniversary. It took its present name, "Taipei Municipal Zhongshan Girls' Senior High School," in 1967, when Taipei was upgraded to a special municipality. Today, on Chang'an East Road in the heart of Zhongshan District, it remains one of Taipei's most competitive public girls' senior highs, with generations of alumnae prominent in Taiwanese politics, media, and academia.

中山女中的校史可追溯至1897年（明治30年），創校時為日治時期的士林女子學校，教授日文、造花、織布與裁縫等課程，是台灣最早的正式女子學校之一。

二戰後改制為「臺灣省立臺北第二女子中學」，並以1945年12月8日的正式接收日訂為校慶紀念日；1967年臺北市升格為院轄市後，正式定名為「臺北市立中山女子高級中學」。如今座落於中山區長安東路，仍是臺北市競爭最激烈的公立女子高中之一，歷屆校友活躍於政治、媒體與學術界。
