Sister schools
In 1968, the government of the Republic of China started 9-year compulsory education and claimed that each townships will have a junior high school. At that time, there is no junior high school in Tuku Township, so the Yunlin County Government ordered the former principal of the Pao-chung Junior High School(褒忠國中), Liu Tai-tzung(劉岱宗), to prepare to create a junior high school there.[1] The Tuku Junior High School was established on August 1, its first principal was Wang Liang-fu(王梁甫), he was assigned by the Taiwan Provincial Government.[2] Wang transferred to be principal of the Tuku VHS of C&I(土庫高級商工職業學校) in 1980, Liu Ho-pi(劉和璧) took over as the second principal.[1]
In 1976, Tuku Junior High School built a library and named it the Chiang Kai-shek Library(中正圖書館) to commemorate the late President Chiang Kai-shek of the Republic of China; a swimming pool was built in 1978.[1] Principal Liu retired in 1993, Lin Chiu-hwa(林久華) began to manage the TKJH until 1998, he decided to remove the swimming pool in 1994.[1] In 1995, the county government accepted local request, three of the villages of Huwei Township - Yanping Village(延平里), Dongtun Village(東屯里), and Xitun Village(西屯里) - were listed into the common school district of the Ch'ung-to Junior High School(崇德國中) and the Tuku Junior High School.[3] In the same year, a student of the TKJH raped an 8-year-old girl, locals are very concerned about this.[4]
After Principal Lin, the school has gone through the leadership of Principal Hsieh Fei-fei(謝霏霏), Principal Jhong Jin-sen(鍾進森), and Principal Yang Shan-yuan(楊善淵).[1] The covered court was completed during Yang's tenure.[5] The current principal is Chen Chien-lung(陳健隆).
