Kobe Municipal Fukiai High School (神戸市立葺合高等学校, Kōbe Shiritsu Fukiai Kōtōgakkō) is a municipal high school located in Kobe, Japan.

History[]

In 1939, Kobe Municipal Kobe Middle School (middle school under the former system of education) was established as its predecessor, later to be renamed Kobe Municipal Daiichi Middle School in 1943.[1] Due to World War II, classes were suspended from April 1, 1945, and the entire school building was burnt to the ground on June 5 due to the Bombings of Kobe.[1] Classes were resumed from September 1 at a different site. After a series of modification, Kobe Municipal Fukiai High School was established in 1951, moving back to the original site of Kobe Municipal Daiichi Middle School.[1] In 1986, English Course was erected, later to become International Course starting 2003. The school established a sister-school relationship with National Taichung First Senior High School in 2008.[1] It was announced in 2011 that the school would undergo major reconstruction process as a measure for decrepit buildings and earthquake-resistance.[2] In 2014, Fukiai High School was selected as one of the Super Global High Schools (SGH)[3] by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology.
