History
Fukuoka High School was founded in 1917 under the former Japanese educational system in which children went directly to high school after graduating from elementary school. It was not until 1924 that separate facilities were constructed—until then, students shared use of the buildings at Shuyukan high school for classes. The original buildings were made of wood, and they burned down in 1927. Following the fire, the school was reconstructed in stone and cement; those buildings have remained in use until today.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“I cannot be much pleased without an appearance of truth; at least of possibility—I wish the history to be natural though the sentiments are refined; and the characters to be probable, though their behaviour is excelling.”
—Frances Burney (1752–1840)
“Systematic philosophical and practical anti-intellectualism such as we are witnessing appears to be something truly novel in the history of human culture.”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
“The history of his present majesty, is a history of unremitting injuries and usurpations ... all of which have in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these states. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world, for the truth of which we pledge a faith yet unsullied by falsehood.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
