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:
“The history of philosophy is to a great extent that of a certain clash of human temperaments.”
—William James (1842–1910)
“We don’t know when our name came into being or how some distant ancestor acquired it. We don’t understand our name at all, we don’t know its history and yet we bear it with exalted fidelity, we merge with it, we like it, we are ridiculously proud of it as if we had thought it up ourselves in a moment of brilliant inspiration.”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
