History
[edit]In October 1939, the school was established under the name Osan Buddhist School (오산불교학교) on the grounds of Eunhaesa in Yeongcheon to "revive the fading national spirit" through teaching Korean history and language. When the school opened, 125 students enrolled and Kim Dong-hwa was appointed as the first principal. The school originally offered a five-year program.[3]
In 1944, student admissions were halted under the Japanese empire's School Wartime Emergency Measures Act (학교전시비상조치법). After the liberation of Korea, the school was reorganized to Osan Agricultural and Forestry Practical School (오산농림실수학교). In 1946, it received approval of establishment as Neungin Middle School and offered a four-year program. In 1951, it was separated into a middle school and high school and Neungin High School was established. In 1986, it relocated to Suseong District, Daegu.[3]
