History
In 1934, Urawanishi High School was founded as a female school called Urawa Daini Kōtō Jogakkō (浦和第二高等女学校?). The school changed its name to Urawa Daini Joshi Kōtō Gakkō (浦和第二女子高等学校?) in 1948. In 1950, Educational Reform abolished the prior policy and restarted the school as a coed institution with the current school name, Urawanishi High School. During this period, the institution was located at the western part of Urawa-ku (former Urawa City). In 1956, the school moved to its current site. This resulted in the inconsistency that the school name, which literally means Urawa Western High School, does not signify the school location.

“We said that the history of mankind depicts man; in the same way one can maintain that the history of science is science itself.”
