[edit] Introduction

Nestled amongst the hills of Motomiya City, Shirasawa Junior High School serves the residents of Nukazawa, Shiraiwa, and Wada districts in Motomiya City. Constructed in 1980, Shirasawa JHS was established after Shiraiwa Junior High School and Wagisawa Junior High Schools were merged. The school has a little over 340 students and is graded as a “C” type school with regards to its location and size. The highlights of the school year include field trips in April and May, local junior high athletics competitions held in early June (with athletes progressing up to the national tournament level) and Hakuchusai, the school festival held in October.

[edit] School Song

作詞並木 一樹・作曲 三瓶 芳徳

１．安達太良の 山脈はるか
仰ぎみる 光の道よ
阿武隈の 尽きぬ流れに
たえまなく　真理を求め
あーわれらみなともに学ばん
２．白妙の 花の岳山
三郡の松は 濃緑
ゆたかなる 椀田の泉
湧くところ　希望あふるる
あーわれらみなともに歩まん
３．自らを 鍛えて励む
若人が歌いつどいて
なりとよむ この学び舎に
幸多き日々をし継がん
あーわが母校 白沢中学校
