School Introduction

History of LKSH

On April 24, 1995, under the permission of Taiwan Education Department the preliminary offices of the school, planned as Linkou high school, were established. On August 1, 1998, Chang Pao-kuang, the director of the Bureau of Education, received his assignment as the director of the Linkou High School's preliminary office, beginning the school's blueprinting.[2] The preparation of building LKSH had begun. On February 1, 2000, the planned school was given to national control, and so it was renamed as the National Linkou High School.[2]

On August 1, 2000 the school opened its doors, with plans to have 45 classes. The school had 10 classes during its first year.[2] Chang Pao-kuang was the school's first principal. In its second year this increased to 15. On January 1, 2013 the school was given to the New Taipei municipality and so was renamed the New Taipei Municipal Linkou Senior High School.[2]

As of 2013 the school has a total of 45 classes, with 15 per grade.
