Born from Taiwan's nine-year education reform.
Yanhe Junior High was established on August 1, 1968, as part of the nationwide reform that extended compulsory education to nine years across Taiwan. Not long after opening, the school helped set up a branch campus in the nearby Sheliao area, near the historic Zinan Temple. That branch became independent in 1976 as Sheliao Junior High, making Yanhe the origin school for one of Zhushan Township's other junior highs.
延和國中創立於民國57年（1968年）8月1日，是全國實施九年國民義務教育改革下的產物。學校設立後不久，即協助在鄰近紫南宮一帶的社寮地區設立分校。該分校於民國65年（1976年）獨立設校，成為今日的社寮國中，延和國中因此是竹山鎮另一所國中的創始母校。

社寮國中的創始母校
Yanhe helped establish a branch campus in the Sheliao area that became independent in 1976 as today's Sheliao Junior High — a lasting link between the two schools.
🛕 Near the Historic Zinan Temple
鄰近紫南宮古蹟
The branch campus Yanhe once oversaw grew up near the historic Zinan Temple area, one of Zhushan's most storied local landmarks.
Part of Zhushan's postwar education growth.
Delayed a step from Zhushan's old town center, Yanhe Junior High grew out of the township's post-war education expansion and once oversaw the founding of the Sheliao branch school near the historic Zinan Temple area — a landmark shrine that anchors community life in that part of Zhushan. See the Nantou county page for more on the region.
