Taipei Municipal Zhong-Shan Girls Senior High School (Chinese: 臺北市立中山女子高級中學; pinyin: Táiběi shìlì Zhōngshān Nǚzǐ Gāojízhōngxué, abbreviation as ZSGH or CSGHS) is a selective public girl's high school located in the Zhongshan District of Taipei, Taiwan. The school enrols female students from grade 10 to 12. Established in 1897 during the Japanese period, the school marked the milestone of secondary education for Taiwanese females and has educated many famous alumnae including Taiwan's first female president Tsai Ing-wen elected in 2016.
Initially named "First Girls' Affiliated Japanese School of the Governor-General of Taiwan" (Japanese: 臺灣總督府國語學校第一附屬學校女子分教場?), the school was first located in modern-day Shilin District, Taipei in 1897 as the first public school for Taiwanese female students. In 1911, the school was relocated to Manka (Wanhua District) and underwent several name changes. During this early period, main subjects in the curriculum included Japanese language and handicraft art. More subjects were provided after the 1900s such as etiquette, home economics, arithmetic, music, calligraphy, painting and PE lessons.
In 1922, Japanese Government in Taiwan launched its second education reform (臺灣教育令) that encouraged to provide Japanese and Taiwanese students equal opportunity for secondary education. The school was thus renamed as "Taihoku Prefectural Taihoku Third Girls' High School" (台北州立台北第三高等女學校) and started a more formal secondary education structure targeting female students from grade 10 to 12. More academic subjects were also added into the curriculum during this period. In 1937, the school was relocated to the current address. The first building of the new campus (now Yat-Sen Building) was built in 1936 and is still in use today.
