History and Our Principals

   In response to the social, economic and educational educational development in the great Kaohsiung metropolitan area, and to the accessibility of high school education to junior high school graduates, National Feng-hsin High School was founded on July 1, 1992.

   Principal Tzeng, the founder of our school, spared no effort to lay a solid foundation for our school, and unfortunately died in his service due to exhaustion on September 2, 1996.

   Mr. Yieh,  the dean of academy and substitute principal, took over the entire school affairs.  He strived hard for the continuation of our former principal with flying colors.

   Mr. Liu, our second principal, who arrived at his post from Provincial Kangshang Farming High School on February 18, 1997, was devoted to implementing all-rounded education and contributed to the solidation of our excellent foundation and tradition.  He retired in Feb. 2000.

   Mr. Liau, our third principal from Feb. 2000 to Jul. 2003, places emphasis on the guidance of students’ academic performance, the promotion of students’ quality and potentiality.  With his accumulated experience in teaching and administration, a revolution in administration has resulted in great progress on students’ performance.

   Mr. Lan, our present principal, took his post in August 2003.  He is the one who has great visions with strong abilities on coordination and supervision.  Students and teachers in our school are enormously encouraged by his personal belief and teaching, which will surely lead our school into a brighter future.

Our Concept and Ideas

   Education is the cornerstone of a nation in that it nurtures healthy, all-rounded citizens, who are about to contribute to our society in their own ways.  By offering an all-rounded education, our goal is to instill our students with the concept that learning is a life-long journey.  To achieve this goal, we make an effort to create a familial classroom atmosphere, in which teachers establish a rapport and relationship with their students and  students’ individual needs can be well taken care of so that they are able to enjoy learning and willing to study independently.

Integration of Humanitarian Aspect with All-rounded Education

   Due to the dramatic changes in society, crushing pressure of studies, and the prevailing materialism, the entire infrastructure of society is deterioating.   We are, therefore, insistent on placing equal emphasis on the education of moral values, academic principles, discipline, PE, and art and on integrating humanitarian aspect with science technology.  To achieve these, we, on the one hand, make great effort to improve teaching environment, to polish teaching, learning strategies, to instill the correct attitudes towards learning in students, and to make  students aware that learning is a life-long process.  

   On the other hand, by enhancing life education, practicing democracy and discipline, steering students out of the misleading social values, strenghtening campus ethics, and creating rapport between teachers and students, we aim to help our students become well-rounded citizens. 

The Use of Computer Technology to Create a Smooth Channel in Our Administration

   We have a technology information team, whose members are our volunteer teaching staff.  They meet regularly to check the progress of their short, middle, and long term projects. 

An on-line center has been built up from 64K wire to ADSL wire to enhance the quality of campus internet, which with the facilitation of such servers as DNS, WWW, Mail, FTP, and BBS,  link all the computers available on campus.     This service is readily accessible to all our staff members and students to search for information on-line, to discuss, leave messages and use e-mail.   Among the servers, FTP is especially instrumental as it facilitates students to turn in their assignment on-line, which is economical of paper, and avoids the exhaustion of natural resources.

   In addition, by establishing up the BBS for our alumni, we offer our students a channel to consult or ask for suggestions,  latest information and details as to the university departments interesting to them.  By so doing, students, in order to get admission to their ideal universities,  will get a general picture of where they are, where they are going to be, and  what is needed to be prepared and sharpened. 

Our Counseling and Guidance : Aiming to Help Students Explore Their Potential

  It has been our ideal to treat all  the students with equality and respect—to play down their weaknesses and highlight their strengths.   With careful guidance and effective counselling, a chance is easily seen in a crisis in our students, who are in their rebellious adolescenthood.   Under the three systems of  academia, discipline and counselling working together, on the one hand, various strategic activities can be devised to cater for the needs of teachers and students; on the other hand, timely counseling and guidance can lead students out of their bewilderment and thus direct them to the way of exploring their potentiality.

Our Campus and Excellent Facilities

   Feng-hsin is a newly-established school, anticipating to create a greenery campus.  Simultaneously, we try every means to access all the possible financial aids  to purchase beautiful flowers, tall, handsome trees offering cool shades and grass.  Now, we are proud that there is one tree for an average of 5.3 students and 4.3 square meters of grass for each student.  Attached to the plants are labels of their titles, which students make after identifying them in biology classes.  From this, students not only associate what they learn with the real world but also get a sense of involvement and thus are prone to identify themselves with the school. 

   The magnificent campus comprises buildings of administration, humanitarian, science and art, which are spatial, mobile, and as sound-proof as possible.  Among them, we are pround of the art building, where students take courses in art, handicraft, home-economics, computer and music.  There are not only plenty of classrooms equipped with a piano for students majoring in music either to have tutoring lessons or to achieve self success, but also an auditorium especially for musical performance.  

   Besides classroom buildings, there is a library, and an activity center.  In our library are exhibition rooms, reading rooms, language laboratories and a large auditorium, where English song singing and English playlet contests take place; in addition,  students can enjoy video in the cozy seats.  As to our activity center, there is also an auditorium big enough to accommodate more than 1500 students, indoor sports hall for table tennis, badminton and billiards, an areobic classroom, a fitting center and an indoor swimming pool.

Details:

n        There are 60 classrooms with video broadcasting equipments and Internet access.
