Introduction

Jiouru Township, located in the northwestern part of Pingtung County, was renamed from “Jiu Kuai Cu” in 1940. Jiouru Jonior High School is the only junior high school in this township. Its main buildings, established in February, 1962, were then refurbished by the former Principal San-Quig Chen and Fu-Cai Lee, and finally finished by the incumbent Principal Jia-Yin Chen. After this, the whole campus was just like turning over a new leaf, and became one of the few well-equipped schools in Jiouru.

Walking on the campus, you can find not only the beauty of the static state but also the beauty of the dynamic state in this school. Sometimes in the early morning, a breeze coming from the distance makes the camphor trees on the green track swing to it; what’s more amazing is that those various species of orchids, attached to the trees—white, red, and purple—also dance to the breeze.Seeing the students strolling on the green grass makes one feel not only refreshed but also joyful. The former Principal San-Quig Chen was committed to promoting five senses—sense of honor, sense of responsibility, sense of thankfulness, sense of civism, and sense of thoughtfulness—which also became the names of the new buildings thereafter.
From then on, the principals successive also took the five senses as their main educational concepts to manage the school and tried their best to cultivate all the students into healthy citizens both physically and mentally.

Jiouru is a typical farming township. People here are mostly living on farming and leading a very simple life.Although the discrepancy of cultural stimulation and standard of living between Jiouru and the big cities may be a little large, Jiouru, seen from another point of view, creates the stepping stone of harmony and simplicity of Jiouru Junior High School. An old saying goes “The harmony of a family brings the prosperity and happiness.”Not only the faculty and staff but also the students in Jiouru Junior High School make great efforts to create a model of “The harmony of Jiouru Junior High School.”
