On October 25, 1945, after the Japanese defeat in World War II, the school was reorganized into the Taiwan Provincial Kaohsiung Senior High School.
During the 228 incident in 1947 many rioters saw the school as a foothold to launch an assault on Kuomintang soldiers, including the Self-Defense Forces of the school made up of students. Despite headmaste Rin Ching Yuen's dissuasion, the force was established. A cease-fire was not agreed, and commander P'eng Meng Ch'i ordered an assault on the city government, the Kaohsiung train station, and the school. Due to lack of firepower, the students were killed. The fighting devastated the already damaged equipment (during World War II), bullet holes could still be seen inside the school.
