Shizuoka Prefectural Hamana Senior High School (静岡県立浜名高等学校? Shizuoka Kenritsu Hamana Kōtōgakkō) is a public co-educational senior high school in Hamakita-ku, Hamamatsu, Japan.
Hamana High School is a public senior high school with two departments, a full-time day school and a part-time evening school.
The school was founded in 1913 as the Kitahama Sewing Cram School for girls. In 1947, the Kitahama High School merged with Kasai Girls' High School and the next year the name was changed to Shizuoka Prefectural Hamana Senior High School.
The Japanese school year begins near the beginning of April and ends in mid-March, with 5–6 weeks of summer vacation from the last week of July to the end of August and about 2 weeks of winter vacation around the New Year's holiday.
In this course, students have supplementary classes every morning before school and two times a week after school in addition to their regular classes. The focus in these classes is on studying. Students in this course aim to enter prestigious national or public universities.
In this course, the focus is on the sciences and the curriculum includes many math classes. Students have math classes twice a day on some days.
In this course, students study all subjects including math and science.
In this course, there is less emphasis on math and science. Students take classes in art, music, calligraphy or dress design.
As in most Japanese high schools, the school clubs at Hamana are mandatory. Students join only one club and generally continue it throughout high school. Students have one opportunity after their first year to change their club. Students finish their club activity requirement after the first semester of their final year to concentrate on studying, the exception being some athletic clubs.
Athletic clubs meet almost every day to practice. Students often practice after school, during holidays and school vacations.
Hamana has a strong soccer team which has competed at the national level multiple times in the All Japan High School Soccer Tournament.
