On March 29, 2004, the director of Education Bureau Zheng Yingyao and Yung Chiyeh, the principal of National Kaohsiung Hospitality College, jointly signed the operation of land contract for public facilities, witnessed by Huang Rongcun, the Minister of Education, and Hsieh Changting, Mayor of Kaohsiung City. The place planned to establish a secondary school featuring hospitality and tourism. Dr. Yang Baishi, the director of the Center of Teacher Education of National Kaohsiung Hospitality College, was hired as the director during the process of foundation to take charge of the construction of the first phase of school building and teacher selection.
On July, 2005, the Education Bureau officially approved the establishment of “Kaohsiung Municipal Hospitality School.” Meanwhile, Dr. Yang Baishi was hired as the first principal to set up school organization and expand the school equipment. The first year recruited 7 excellent teachers and 105 students in 3 classes of seventh graders. Because the school building was still under construction, the school borrowed classrooms from National Kaohsiung Hospitality College until January 19, 2006.
From the foundation of the school, Principal Yang established a high-quality hospitality culture of “exquisiteness, beauty, beauty and reality” under the teaching philosophy. In addition to general junior high school field courses, the school also offers food and beverage, baking, Chinese cuisine, Western cuisine, and tour guiding classes with excellent teachers and facilities. To make every student capable of basic living ability, the school even involves the spirit of hospitality service in our life education, and dedicates to develop it into our school characteristics.
With an outstanding teaching team and high morale of service, our school was highly appraised by local officials and all walks of life. Combined with abundant educational resources from National Kaohsiung University of Hospitality and Tourism as well as the aim to develop “Kaohsiung Hospitality education park”, National Kaohsiung Hospitality University continued to accept Kaohsiung City Government's entrustment to sign the second phase of the contract, and it was still named "Kaohsiung Municipal Hospitality Junior High School." Associate Professor Chen Ziling from the Teacher Education of National Kaohsiung University of Hospitality and Tourism was hired as the second principal to continue developing school characteristics and prepare for the transformation into a vocational school. After negotiating with the Education Bureau with approval of the Ministry of Education in 2012, the school changed to "the Affiliated Hospitality Senior High School of National Kaohsiung University of Hospitality and Tourism". Enrollment of senior high students began on August 1, 2015. Under the leadership of the new principal, Dr. Zhou Dunyi, the school hopes to carry forward the spirit of "passionate hospitality, travel to young people", "hospitality reputation in Kaohsiung, creating miracles constantly", and the ability to fulfill “Asian Hospitality Education Park,” a comprehensive high-quality twelve-year hospitality education from junior high, senior high, to university.
