A school that carries sixty years of history — and builds the next sixty with code and curiosity.
六十年的歷史厚度，加上對科技與創新的熱情——這就是花壇國中。
Huatan Junior High sits at the foot of Baguashan in Huatan Township — a place long famous as Taiwan's brick-kiln hometown. The same red clay that built generations of homes now fires a different kind of ambition: a school that blends tradition with technology, community with competition.
花壇國中坐落於八卦山山麓的花壇鄉，這裡是台灣著名的磚窯故鄉。曾經燒製磚瓦、蓋遍家家戶戶的紅土，如今燃起另一種火焰——傳統與科技並行、社區與競技共榮的辦學精神。
Founded in 1961, Huatan JHS has sent more than 20,000 graduates into the world. Today, under Principal Tu Ming-hsiu, the school runs one of the county's few junior-high AIoT Science & Technology Centers, fields a powerhouse track-and-field team with national qualifiers, and has earned the Ministry of Education's Reading Cornerstone Award, Character Education Featured School distinction, and Arts Education Contribution Award, along with the KDP Curriculum Leadership Award and Changhua County's Five-Star Flagship School certification. Every pillar of the school grows from the same soil: a belief that a small-township school can do big things.
創立於民國 50 年（1961），花壇國中已培育超過 2 萬名畢業生。在凃明秀校長的帶領下，學校設有全縣少數的國中級 AIoT 人工智慧物聯網科技教育中心，田徑隊多人達全中運標準，並榮獲教育部閱讀磐石獎、教育部品德特色學校、教育部藝術教育貢獻獎、KDP課程領導優等獎及彰化縣教育旗艦五星學校認證獎。所有的光芒，都生長於同一片土壤：一所小鄉鎮的學校，可以做到很大的事。
The same township that fired bricks for a generation now shapes students who build with algorithms, run national-level races, and speak in two — sometimes three — languages. That is Huatan.
「承載著一整個世代燒磚歷史的同一個鄉鎮，現在正形塑著全新的學子——他們用演算法編織夢想、在全國競賽中嶄露頭角，並能運用兩種、有時甚至是三種語言來發聲。這，就是花壇。」
Eleven principals, one township, six decades of growing up together.
十一任校長，一個鄉鎮，六十多年的共同成長。
A bell-shaped crest, ringing the same call across eleven principals.
一口鐘形校徽，敲響十一任校長從未改變的教育初心。
The crest takes the shape of a bell: six blocks below for six years of elementary school, three lines above for three years of junior high, nine studs around the rim for nine years of compulsory education. Inside, two archaic characters read "中華" — 華, an old form of 花 (hua) — a quiet pun on the school's own name, Huatan. Its founders hoped the sound of education, like a bell, could travel far.
校徽是一口鐘：下 6 塊代表 6 年國小，上 3 線代表 3 年國中，外 9 鈕代表 9 年國民義務教育。鐘內二字「中華」為篆字，「華」是「花」的古字，正是「花中」的雙關——盼教育的能量與希望，能如鐘聲般傳得長遠。
Since the 2019 school year, that bell has carried three more layers of meaning — a framework every principal since has carried forward.
自 108 學年起，這口鐘又被賦予三層新的意義——是歷任校長一路傳承、發揚光大的教育框架。
Established in 2019, the AIoT Center offers hands-on courses in machine learning, IoT sensors, generative AI, and robotics — open to both students and visiting schools across the county.
With multiple athletes qualifying for the National Junior High Games each year, Huatan's track team is one of Changhua's strongest. Record-breakers, champions, and future Olympians train here.
Since 1988, Huatan has run a technical skills program producing national champions in electrical assembly, painting, and CAD. Graduates go on to top engineering universities — and come back to give.
