History
The school was established in 1922 by the Governor-General of Taiwan to achieve a Japanese and Taiwanese 'learning together' policy. Tainan Second High School provided high school education for local Taiwanese, while Tainan First High School was for Japanese.
Originally set up as a five-year high school, it was changed to a four-year school in 1943 due to the start of World War II.
After the war, Taiwan was handed to the Republic of China, whose high school system was a 3-3-year one. In 1959, ShinHua Campus was established for senior high school students in ShinHua Township, Tainan County. The campus became independent in 1966 and was renamed to National ShinHua Senior High School. In 1970, Tainan Second High School was renamed to Provincial Tainan First High School.
