History
[edit]
The Ningxiang No. 13 High School traces its roots back to the former Keda Primary School of the Ou Family (欧氏可大完全小学), founded by He Xuntao (贺薰陶) in 1949. In 1954, the school moved to Sanyangtang, Bitang Brigade, Heshiqiao Commune (贺石桥公社碧塘大队三阳塘). It was renamed as Meitanba Primary School (煤炭坝完全小学) after that and opened its doors in July 1955 to eight classes of more than 300 students.
After the closure of Meitanba Primary School in 1958, it became a middle school with the addition of the 7th, 8th and 9th grades. In July 1976, Heshiqiao Middle School (贺石桥中学) was merged into Ningxiang No. 13 High School. The school was renamed as Ningxiang No. 13 High School in 1977. In August 1978, the school was separated from Heshiqiao Middle School.
In March 2007, it was listed among the "Model High Schools in Hunan" (湖南省示范性高级中学).
