History

In 1929, Shùdé High School was founded by General Sun Zhen (孙震) as a private school. The teaching building and students' dormitory building were finished by 1931. The motto of the school is given by "loyalty, bravery and diligence" (忠,勇,勤). The school's educational goal is "building virtue and building character" (树德树人).

In 1932, the first batch of 50 boys and 50 girls were admitted into Boys' School and Girls' School, respectively.

In 1944, a national newspaper ranked Shùdé High School as one of the best 4 private schools in China.

In 1945, Li Zongren, then vice president of Republic of China visited Shùdé High School.

In 1950, after the communist revolution, the administration of Shùdé High School was taken over by the municipal government and renamed to be No. 9 High School of Chengdu.

In the 1960s, No. 9 High School of Chengdu serves as the middle school for children of the cadres of the Communist Party of China in Chengdu and Sichuan Province.

In 1980, Shùdé High School was honored as the Beacon high school of Sichuan Province.

In 1989, Shùdé High School celebrated its 60th anniversary in 1989, and changed its name back to the original form of Shùdé High School. Sun Jingshan (孙静山), grandson of Sun Zhen, the founder of the school, visited the school from Taiwan and gave a donation to the school's library.

The basketball team of Shùdé High School has won the championship in Sichuan Middle School Basketball Cup from 2000 to 2005 and has won third place in Nike National Middle School Basketball Cup.

(Verification No:(2005) 5). Also it has cooperation with Australian and British Higher education institutions, and given Victorian Certificate of Education to its graduates.

Controversy

From late 1990s, a portion of students with lower enrollment examination score was recruited in Shùdé High School, by paying an amount of money annually to the school administration. The school explains the money is used for the development of the campus. This practice is common in Sichuan province for students who choose a key school with lower enrollment scores.
