A branch school grown independent, beside a Qing-era temple.
Sheliao Junior High began life as a branch campus of Yanhe Junior High before becoming an independent school in 1976. It is a small rural school serving four villages, home mostly to Hoklo farming families. The school partners closely with the community's historic Zinan Temple — founded in 1745 — to run tea-ceremony arts and craft clubs, connecting students directly to one of Zhushan's most storied local landmarks.
社寮國中原為延和國中的分校，民國65年（1976年）獨立設校。學校規模不大，服務四個村里，居民多為福佬農業家庭。學校與擁有近三百年歷史、建於乾隆十年（1745年）的紫南宮社區密切合作，開設茶藝與工藝社團，讓學生與竹山最具代表性的地方信仰中心產生連結。

分校獨立設校
Originally a branch of Yanhe Junior High, the school became fully independent in 1976, following a common path for Taiwan's rural mid-century schools.
Beside a nearly 300-year-old shrine.
Sheliao Junior High draws directly on its neighborhood's most famous landmark, the historic Qing-era Zinan Temple (founded 1745), weaving community elders' tea-arts and craft knowledge into its curriculum — a rare example of a school built around a centuries-old place of worship. See the Nantou county page for more on the region.
