Built so Qigu's scattered villages could reach a middle school.
Zhuqiao Junior High began in August 1970 as a branch campus of Hougang Junior High, then known as "臺南縣後港國民中學竹橋分部." It was created because Qigu District's salt-field and oyster-farming villages were too scattered for students to commute to a single town-center school. The branch became a fully independent school in August 1972 under its first principal, Chen Qianqing, and remains today the only public junior high serving the entire district.
竹橋國中創校於民國59年（1970年）8月，前身為後港國中的分部，稱「臺南縣後港國民中學竹橋分部」。由於七股區鹽田與蚵田聚落分散廣闊，學生難以通勤至單一市區學校，因而設立。民國61年（1972年）8月1日正式獨立設校，首任校長為陳蒨青。至今仍是七股區唯一的公立國中。
What makes this school worth knowing.
🤖 Robotics on the National Stage
機器人科展全國舞台
Zhuqiao's robotics teams have earned an honorable mention in the J23 category at the National Skills Competition, a bronze medal at the 2024 "仰望盃" national science competition, and a place on Tainan's team at Japan's RoboRAVE international robotics event.
🥈 Runner-Up in Tainan's POWER TECH
台南市 POWER TECH 亞軍
The school placed 2nd in Tainan's POWER TECH technology competition's junior-high all-round category — a strong result for a small, rural district school.
🌳 A Century-Old Banyan Next Door
隔壁的百年老榕樹
The campus shares its lineage with neighboring Zhuqiao Elementary, whose grounds hold a roughly 100-year-old banyan tree nicknamed "Grandpa Banyan," which students ceremonially climbed during the elementary school's 2022 centennial.
🧂 Built for Qigu's Salt and Oyster Villages
為七股鹽田蚵鄉而設
As the sole junior high for Qigu's salt-pan and lagoon hamlets, the school exists so students from these rural villages no longer have to travel to a neighboring township for middle school.
Rooted in Qigu's salt flats and lagoons.
Qigu District is shaped by two industries: salt production, once among Taiwan's largest salt-field regions, and oyster farming along its lagoons and tidal flats — the same wetlands that draw black-faced spoonbills and birdwatchers from around the world every winter. Zhuqiao Junior High exists because of this geography: it was created in 1970 specifically so children from Qigu's scattered salt-worker and oyster-farming villages would not have to commute to a neighboring township for middle school. See the Tainan city page for more on the region.
