History

Guangzhou High School, originally Guangzhou No.47 High School, was established as a junior high school in July 1963 by Guangzhou Municipal Bureau of Education in the eastern suburban area of Liede. In July 1964, it was renamed as Guangzhou No. 51 High School and moved to a new campus in the Shahe subdistrict. In 1965, the name was restored to Guangzhou No. 47 High School. In 1968, the school began taking senior high school pupils.^[3]

In September 1985, the school was transferred to the Tianhe District Bureau of Education. In March 1986, it was approved as the key secondary school of Guangzhou Tianhe District. In April 1995, it was approved as a "provincial first-class secondary school" by Guangdong Provincial Bureau of Education.^[3]

In 2001, the provincial government, on behalf of Guangzhou city, applied for the school to become a "national demonstration senior high school". This status was finally granted in 2008, making it one of only 16 such schools at that time.^[3]

In 2002, the school received a further award as a Guangzhou "Green Environment" campus.^[3]

In 2018, the school was renamed to "Guangzhou High School".^[2]
