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.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“No event in American history is more misunderstood than the Vietnam War. It was misreported then, and it is misremembered now.”
—Richard M. Nixon (b. 1913)
“The history of work has been, in part, the history of the worker’s body. Production depended on what the body could accomplish with strength and skill. Techniques that improve output have been driven by a general desire to decrease the pain of labor as well as by employers’ intentions to escape dependency upon that knowledge which only the sentient laboring body could provide.”
—Shoshana Zuboff (b. 1951)
“In all history no class has been enfranchised without some selfish motive underlying. If to-day we could prove to Republicans or Democrats that every woman would vote for their party, we should be enfranchised.”
—Carrie Chapman Catt (1859–1947)
