Mingde High School (simplified Chinese: 明德中学; traditional Chinese: 明德中學; pinyin: Míngdé Zhōngxué) is a public coeducational high school in Tianxin District of Changsha, Hunan, China.

Etymology

The name was formulated based on a sentence from Great Learning, one of the "Four Books" in Confucianism.

History

Mingde High School traces its history back to the former "Mingde School" (明德学堂), founded by educator Hu Yuantan (胡元倓) in 1903, during late Qing dynasty.

In 1932, Chiang Kai-shek inspected the school and took pictures with teachers and students, inscribing four Chinese characters "止于至善".

In February 1938, due to the Second Sino-Japanese War, the school moved to Zeng's Ancestral Temple in Mount Xia (霞岭) at the junction of Hengshan, Xiangxiang and Xiangtan.

In 1941, the school was renamed "Hunan Provincial Mingde Middle School" (湖南省立明德中学).

In November 1944, when the Japanese invaded Hunan, Hu Shaokui (胡少煃), then dean of education at Mingde Middle School, led the teachers and students to move to Lantian County.

On March 16, 1946, the school moved back to Taianli Campus (泰安里校区) in Changsha and was officially reopened.

After the establishment of the Communist State in 1949, the school was renamed Changsha No. 3 Middle School (长沙市第三中学), New Changsha No. 3 Middle School (新长沙市第三中学) and Power Machine No. 57 Middle School (动力机五七中学).

In 1983, the school was renamed "Changsha Mingde High School".

In August 2015, Principal Fan Qiuming (范秋明) was placed under investigation for corruption, bribery and unfair relationships with several women by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI), the Communist Party's internal disciplinary body.
