Eimei High School (Japanese: 英明高等学校, Hepburn: Eimei Kōtōgakkō) is a private co-educational senior high school located in Takamatsu City, Kagawa Prefecture, Japan.
The high school was founded in 1917 by the educational corporation Kagawa Prefecture Eizen Gakuen
Eimei was founded in 1917 as the Meizen Girls' High School (私立明善高等女学校開校, Shiritsu Meizen Kōtō Joshigakkō).[2] Near the end of World War II, the school was destroyed in the early hours of July 4, 1945, during the air raid on Takamatsu. The school was rebuilt and opened as a high school under the new educational system in April 1948, adopting the name Meizen High School (香川県明善高等学校, Kagawa-ken Meizen Kōtōgakkō). In April 2001 the school became a co-educational school and changed its name to its current name.[2]
The Meizen Gakuen corporation previously operated a junior high school and Kagawaken Meizen Junior College on the same campus. The Meizen Junior High School (香川県明善中学校, Kagawa-ken Meizen Chūgakkō) was established in April 1947 and suspended operations in April 2002. Kagawaken Meizen Junior College was established in 1956;[3] it last accepted students in 2002 and closed in 2004.
