長沙廣益中學
一個民辦學校
長沙廣益中學是湖南師範大學附屬中學1955年1月前的名字;現湖南師範大學附屬中學創辦了一個民辦學校,為紀念前身,特命名為長沙廣益中學。
現已更名為湖南廣益實驗中學。
湖南師範大學附屬中學是國家教育部基礎教育司“國家級示範性普通高中建設”項目執行學校、湖南省教育廳直屬重點中學,是湖南省實施素質教育的示範學校。學校歷史已近百年,其前身是民主革命先驅禹之謨於1905年創辦的唯一學堂,1912年學校更名為湖南私立廣益中學,1955年1月更名為湖南師範學院附屬中學。近百年來,學校培養了四萬多名三湘學子,李立三、柳直荀、歐陽予倩、康濯、朱鎔基、中國工程學院院士“黎氏三兄弟”(黎鰲、黎介壽、黎磊石)、張履謙、朱之悌、何繼善,中國科學院院士朱作言等,就是他們當中的傑出代表。
學校坐落在風光秀麗、人文薈萃的嶽麓山下,校園佔地10.7萬平方米,建築總面積近9萬平方米,2000年10月建成了千兆校園網路,教學設施已具備信息化功能。教職工近300人,高級教師114人,先後有24名教師被評為湖南省特級教師,有15人先後獲得全國或湖南省優秀校長、優秀教師、勞動模範等榮譽稱號。20多年來,學校共獲全國教育系統先進集體、全國中小學德育工作先進集體、全國青少年科技活動先進集體、全國群眾體育先進集體等國家級榮譽稱號9次,教育教改成果獲省級以上獎勵16項次。
1978年以來,學校進入一個嶄新的發展時期,教育教學質量穩居全省前列,教改教研成果豐碩喜人,形成了“科研興校、全面育人”的鮮明辦學特色,享有“金牌搖籃”的美譽。自1991年至2003年,在國際中學生奧林匹克競賽中,共獲得數、理、化、生等學科奧賽金牌18枚、銀牌7枚。2000年8月,學校被湖南省教育廳確定為“湖南省高中課程改革實驗學校”,全面實施課程改革,確立了“以人為本、承認差異、發展個性、著眼未來”的學校課程改革理念,構建了“兩性四型”的課程框架。新課程體系的構建與實施,為學生提供了前所未有的學習發展空間。
進入新世紀后,為適應現代社會對基礎教育拓展優質資源的需求,學校堅持“聚精會神抓質量,腳踏實地謀發展”的工作方針,初步形成了以師大附中為主體,以廣益實驗中學、國際課程中心、遠程教育網校為輔翼的多種辦學形式的新格局。並積極支持邊遠少數民族地區的基礎教育事業,與張家界民族中學聯誼辦學,共同創辦了湖南師大附中張家界實驗學校。學校辦學內涵更加豐富,辦學品位有了新的提升。
十年樹木,百年樹人;改革進取,任重道遠。湖南師範大學附屬中學是蘊蓄著湖湘文化歷史積澱的育人沃土,又是具有改革創新精神的實施素質教育的前驅,在新的世紀中,必將展現出新的風采。
A Brief Introduction to the High School Attached to Hunan Normal University
The High School Attached to Hunan Normal University, designated by the Department of Elementary Education of the Ministry of Education as a member under the Program of the Construction of Exemplary High Schools at the State Level, is a key high school under the direct authority of the Department of Education of the People’s Government of Hunan Province and an exemplary high school in the development of a well rounded education of the Province. With a history of almost 100 years, our school can be traced back to Weiyi School founded in 1905 by Yu Zhimo, a predecessor of the Democratic Revolution. In 1912, our School was renamed as the Privately-run Guangyi High School and then renamed as the High School Attached to Hunan Normal University in January 1955. In the last 100 years or so, our School has cultivated more than 40,000 students from the Province, of which the most prominent are such famous figures as Li Lisan, Liu Zhixun, Ouyang Yuqian, Kang Zhuo, Zhu Rongji, “the Li Brothers” (namely Li Ao, Li Jieshou and Li Leishi, all academicians of the Chinese Academy of Engineering), Zhang Luqian, Zhu Zhiti, He Jishan, Zhu Zuoyan, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, among numerous others.
The school is located at the picturesque Yuelu Mountain. Our school covers an area of 107,000 m2, with a total construction floor space of nearly 90, 000 m2. In October 2000, a campus computer network was established in our school, greatly updating our teaching capacities in the field of information technology. Our school has a staff of nearly 300, of which 114 are senior teachers; 25 of them have received the award for Distinguish Teachers of Hunan Province, 14 of them have consecutively been awarded such honorary titles as Outstanding Principals, Outstanding Teachers or model workers at both the State and the Provincial levels. During the last 20 years, our school has received 9 awards such as honorary titles on the State level as a National Advanced Institution in Education, a National Advanced Institution in Moral Education, a National Advanced Institution in Popular Science and Technology Among Youth, and a National Advanced Institution in Physical Education. Also, our school has received sixteen awards for excellent achievements in educational reform at or above the provincial level.
Since 1978, our school has ushered in a new era of development: our teaching qualities are among the top rank in the Province, our achievements in teaching reform and teaching studies have been fruitful and successful. Our distinctive characteristic policy of “revitalizing our school through science and technology and cultivating students in a comprehensive way” has been established. From 1991 to 2003, our students won 18 gold medals and 7 silver medals in the fields of mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology at the International Olympic Competitions for High-school Students, thus bestowing our school with a eulogy of “a Cradle of Gold Medals”. In August 2000, our school was designated by the Department of Education of the People’s Government of Hunan Province as “an Experimental School in the Reform of High School Syllabus at the Provincial Level” in the overall implementation of teaching reform. Along with the designation, the ideas of “making students the most important, recognizing differences among them, exploring their personal characteristics and aiming at the future” were established. The unprecedented teaching framework of “Two Stresses (namely, stresses on both basic courses and courses for extended disciplinary studies) and Four Directions (namely, cultivating students in the directions of practicality, academic research, personal interests and intellectual accomplishment)” were also implemented. The introduction and the implementation of this new teaching system has provided our students with boundless opportunities for their course studies and their characteristic development.
Our school has ushered in the new century by implementing a policy of “focusing our attention on the qualities of education and seeking development in a practical way” in exploring top rank resources, in basic education in order to meet the demands of the modern society. Our School is the core of the multi-form educational pattern. It is supplemented by Guangyi High School, the Teaching Center of International Courses and the Remote Educational Network. We have carried out an active endeavor in supporting basic education in the remote ethnic areas and have established Zhangjiajie Experimental School Under the High School Attached to Hunan Normal University in full cooperation with Zhangjiajie Middle School of Ethnic Nationalities. All these have greatly enriched our educational connotations and enhanced our educational qualities.
Just as an old saying goes, “it takes 10 years to grow trees but 100 to cultivate people”. In carrying out the historic mission of reform and advancement, our task is great and the road ahead is long. The High School Attached to Hunan Normal University, a fertile land that vividly embodies the rich historic traditions of Huxiang culture is a pioneer in implementing a complete education in the spirit of reform and renovation. Our school will fully exhibit her attractive bearing and elegant demeanor in the new century.
