History
Established at 1922 by the order of Governor-General of Taiwan to achieve "Japanese and Taiwanese Learning Together Policy". Then named "Tainan Second High School" and was to provide high school education to local Taiwanese, while "Tainan First High School" was for Japanese. Its system was originally set up as a five-year high school and was then changed to a four-year high school in 1943 due to the break out of World War II.
After World War II, Taiwan was then governed by R.O.C., whose high school system was a 3-3-year one. In 1959, ShinHua Campus was established only for senior high school students in ShinHua Township, Tainan County. The campus became independence in 1966 and was renamed as "National ShinHua Senior High School". In 1970, Tainan Second High School was renamed as "Provincial Tainan First High School".
