It has been 50 years since Maogang No.1 Middle School was founded by 1959. In the past 50 years, Maogang No.1 Middle School has only four teachers and 100 students at the beginning of its establishment, and now it has developed into a well-known complete middle school in Maoming with more than 300 faculty members and more than 5,000 students.
Over the past 50 years, under the leadership of principals such as Li Yuru, Liu Puyun, Liang, Liu Puyun, the school has made unremitting efforts. During this period, the school was renamed four times: No.13 Middle School in Dianbai County, Nanhai Middle School in Dianbai County, No.1 Middle School in Shuidong Economic Development Experimental Zone in Maoming City and No.1 Middle School in Maogang District. With the spirit of "four or two meters" hard struggle, the school has spent three years in the difficult period of natural disasters. Even in the wasted years of the Cultural Revolution, the teachers and students of Nanhai Middle School at that time strictly followed the principles of teaching and educating people, respecting morality and abiding by the law, and the school continued to develop and trained talents with all-round development for the society. There are many outstanding talents among them. Whether it is the junior high school before 1970, the senior high school from 197 1 979, and the junior high school from 1979 to 1992, the school always insists on serving the construction of the South China Sea Peninsula and running schools to meet the needs of society. From 65438 to 0992, Nanhai Peninsula became the experimental area of Shuidong economic development, and the development environment of the school had new hope. At that time, the leaders, teachers and students seized the opportunity and won the support of the leaders of the development zone, built a new teaching building, expanded the development space of the school and successfully completed the "Ninth Five-Year Plan" task.
"Recalling the past, the years are heavy." Along the way, Maogang No.1 Middle School has experienced countless hardships. Fifty years ago, the classrooms in the school used houses confiscated by the commune at that time, and the dormitories used Yangjia Zutang. When the school was first established, the teachers and students of the whole school had a relay race for several years: teachers and students used holidays to take a ferry to Jiao Mo several kilometers away to carry materials. They first transported the materials to Qinhai Wharf, and then picked them back to school from the wharf with a dustpan. In this way, several bungalows were built brick by brick. At that time, teachers and students could only eat the allocated four or two meters a day, and they had no shoes to wear all the year round. In this way, they braved the cold and heat all the year round, hungry, barefoot and carrying their hands, and built their own schools. This spirit of hard struggle was later praised by the masses as "the spirit of four or two meters", and the later development of the school also inherited the "spirit of four or two meters".
Years are like songs, and Maogang No.1 Middle School has ushered in the brilliant dawn of school building construction. Since the establishment of 200 1 Maogang District, the leaders of the district committee and government have always regarded the development of Maogang No.1 Middle School as the focus of their work. The secretary and the district head often go to Maogang No.1 Middle School for investigation or on-site work to understand the situation, help Maogang No.1 Middle School solve problems, point out the direction, and ensure the steady development of Maogang No.1 Middle School.
With the great attention and investment of the district committee and government, Maogang No.1 Middle School has successively built a teaching building and a science and technology building. This classroom is equipped with a computer platform. The Science and Technology Building is equipped with a network lesson preparation room, a lecture theatre, a language lab, a library, a reading room, an art room, a multimedia network teaching system and a chemical physics laboratory. , realizing the management informationization of management and teaching. In addition, the school sports facilities are also improving day by day, with a 400-meter circular track standard sports ground, six standard basketball courts and a number of volleyball courts. At present, the conditions for running a school in Maogang No.1 Middle School have been fundamentally improved. The school gradually coordinated with the pace of teaching development in Maoming City, laying a solid foundation for the establishment of famous schools.
