Taipei Municipal Chien Kuo High School (CKHS;[1] Chinese: 臺北市立建國高級中學), also historically known as Taipei Municipal Jianguo High School, is a public high school for boys located in Zhongzheng District, Taipei, Taiwan. The school was established in 1898 during the early years of Japanese rule and was the first public high school in Taiwanese history.[4][a] CKHS requires the highest scores on the national senior high school entrance exams.[5][6][7] As of July 2021, CKHS's alumni include one Nobel Prize laureate (Physics), the only ethnic Chinese Turing Award laureate, one Cannes Film Festival Best Director award winner, two heads of state, at least five members of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, and numerous scholars and public servants. Its female counterpart is the Taipei First Girls' High School.[8]
