From a middle-school branch to a comprehensive high school.
National Chushan Senior High School was founded in August 1961 as a branch of Provincial Nantou Middle School, becoming an independent school in 1966. In 2000, the school was reorganized under national administration and adopted a comprehensive high school model, offering students tracks in science, social science, business and commerce, information technology, and design/art. As Zhushan's only senior high school, it anchors education for the historic old walled town and trains students in tracks that connect naturally to the township's craft and business traditions.
國立竹山高級中學創校於民國50年(1961年)8月,原為省立南投中學分部,民國55年(1966年)獨立設校。民國89年(2000年)改隸國立,並採綜合高中制,設有自然、社會、商業、資訊、設計與藝術等學程。作為竹山鎮唯一的高級中學,學校是這座歷史悠久的清代竹山古城教育體系的核心,其設計與工藝相關學程也與當地竹藝、商業傳統緊密呼應。
