History
HCHS, originally called Hsinchu County Hsinchu High School, was established on April 1, 1922. After World War II in 1945, the school was renamed Taiwan Provincial Hsinchu High School. In July, 1968, after compulsory education was extended to nine years, the school was renamed Taiwan Provincial Hsinchu Senior High School, and on February 1, 2000, renamed National Hsinchu Senior High School.
After the restoration in 1945, HCHS was a six-year high school, with a 3-year Junior and a 3-year Senior High division. However, the junior high division was suspended in 1957. In 1987, HCHS was directed to set up a math and science gifted class, later in 1998 a music-gifted class, and in 2004, a language and literature gifted class.

“America is, therefore the land of the future, where, in the ages that lie before us, the burden of the World’s history shall reveal itself. It is a land of desire for all those who are weary of the historical lumber-room of Old Europe.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
“Hence poetry is something more philosophic and of graver import than history, since its statements are rather of the nature of universals, whereas those of history are singulars.”
