New Taipei Municipal Lin-kou Senior High School (LKSH; Chinese: 新北市立林口高級中學), previously National Linkou High School (Chinese: 國立林口高級中學), is a high school in Linkou District, New Taipei, Taiwan.[1]

History

On April 24, 1995, the preliminary offices of the school (then planned as the Linkou High School) were established under the permission of Taiwan Education Department. On August 1, 1998, Chang Pao-kuang, the director of the Bureau of Education, was assigned to be the director of the Linkou High School's preliminary office, beginning the school's blueprinting.[2] On February 1, 2000, the planned school was nationalised and thus renamed as the National Linkou High School.[2]

On August 1, 2000 the school opened with 10 classes during its first year, with plans to expand 45 classes.[2] Chang Pao-kuang became the school's first principal.[3] On January 1, 2013 the school's governance was handed to the New Taipei municipality, leading to its present name, the New Taipei Municipal Linkou Senior High School.[2]

As of 2013 the school has a total of 45 classes, with 15 per grade.[3]
