Changjun High School (simplified Chinese: 长郡中学; traditional Chinese: 長郡中學, literally Changsha County High School) also known as Changjun (长郡) is a key model high school in Hunan province. In a 2016 ranking of Chinese high schools that send students to study in American universities, Changjun High School ranked number 33 in mainland China in terms of the number of students entering top American universities.

In 1904, the Prefecture of Changsha established "Changsha prefectural school", which was the earliest prefectural school at that time. In 1912, after the prefectural system was abolished, Hunan Changjun state-owned High School was founded based on the prefectural school. Later, the school was renamed as Hunan First United County-owned High School, Changjun State-owned school, Hunan Changjun United High School, Changsha First High School（in 1951）, Changsha Second High School and Changjun High School in 1984.

For one century, with the school principle of Simple, Sincere, Self-possessed and resolute, the school has sent a total of more than 78,000 qualified graduates, maintaining a large number of excellent people. Changjun High School obtains high reputation not only for its famous teachers such as Xu Teli, Li Weihan, Chen Zizhan and Zhou Shizhao, but also for its distinguished students including revolutionists such as Ren Bishi, Li Lisan, Li Fuchun, Xiao Jinguang, Chen Geng and Zeng San, 13 academicians such as Zhang Xiaoqian and Shen Qizheng. Besides them, esthetician Cai Yi, musician Lu Ji and youth singer Zhang Ye and Chen Xiaoduo once studied here. The school has 17 items of annually-awarded scholarship fund and 4 items of special teachers’ educational fund set up by well-known alumni.

Based on its experience, Changjun people have established its school-running policy---students first, best performance as the aim. It insists on the developing thought of “harmonious development, content development, characteristic development and international development” and puts the educating concept of "for the students life-long development", "to become useful first adult" into reality, promoting quality education. So it has formed its own features and brand.
