東臺中學初(chu)名“東臺縣中學堂兼師(shi)范學堂”(俗(su)稱“兩堂”), 系清末“兩江學務處”批準(zhun)建立的官辦學堂。光(guang)緒三十(shi)一年(1905)秋,學堂正式(shi)開校,
辛亥(hai)革(ge)命(1911)后東臺縣成立民政署(shu),接管了“兩堂”學(xue)務,民國元年(1912)起改(gai)稱(cheng)學(xue)堂為學(xue)校,校產校舍均登記入冊。民國初建,學(xue)校突遭意外事故,經管人卷款而(er)逃。
清末狀元、民(min)國實業(ye)家張謇的(de)熱心關注(zhu)。張謇的(de)母(mu)親(qin)是東(dong)臺(tai)人(ren),為報(bao)效母(mu)親(qin)故里(li),他于(yu)1919年在(zai)東(dong)臺(tai)恢復師范(fan)教育,辦起了“母(mu)里(li)師范(fan)”。
當時東(dong)(dong)中魁(kui)星(xing)樓的校舍仍(reng)在,母里(li)(li)師(shi)(shi)范首任校長張詧便向東(dong)(dong)臺縣公署暫借魁(kui)星(xing)樓作校舍,于1920年開班(ban)上課(ke)。1921年,母里(li)(li)師(shi)(shi)范新建的校舍在東(dong)(dong)臺城郊王(wang)家(jia)舍落成,校址(zhi)即由(you)魁(kui)星(xing)樓遷往王(wang)家(jia)舍。迫于社會(hui)呼聲和張謇獨資辦師(shi)(shi)范的影響(xiang)。
到1924年時,東(dong)臺(tai)縣公署(shu)決(jue)定恢復中(zhong)學(xue)教(jiao)育(yu),在東(dong)中(zhong)原址魁星樓復辦了(le)“東(dong)臺(tai)縣立(li)初級中(zhong)學(xue)”,聘(pin)旅日留學(xue)回鄉(xiang)的(de)楊琬(wan)先生擔任校長,并于(yu)1925年開班上課。自1924年起,東(dong)臺(tai)終(zhong)于(yu)完全(quan)恢復了(le)中(zhong)學(xue)和師(shi)范教(jiao)育(yu),形成了(le)東(dong)臺(tai)中(zhong)學(xue)和母里師(shi)范兩校并存的(de)格局。
1927年(nian)初,在復旦(dan)大學東(dong)臺(tai)籍(ji)學生、共產黨(dang)員黃逸峰的(de)領導下,組織東(dong)臺(tai)中(zhong)學和(he)母(mu)里師(shi)(shi)范(fan)的(de)部(bu)分進步(bu)青年(nian),成(cheng)立了“C.Y(共青團)東(dong)臺(tai)中(zhong)學、母(mu)里師(shi)(shi)范(fan)聯合支(zhi)部(bu)”,配(pei)合國(guo)民大革命進行反(fan)帝反(fan)封建斗(dou)爭(zheng)。張謇逝世(shi)后,母(mu)里師(shi)(shi)范(fan)終因經費匱(kui)乏于1928年(nian)停(ting)辦,王家舍(she)的(de)全部(bu)校舍(she)校產均贈歸地方政府。
1929年,東(dong)臺縣(xian)政府(fu)將王家舍原母里師范的校舍校產劃歸東(dong)中。
1930年(nian),東中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)改(gai)校名為(wei)“東臺(tai)縣立中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)學”,設中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)學和師(shi)范(fan)兩部(bu),中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)學部(bu)在魁星(xing)樓(改(gai)名覽勝樓),師(shi)范(fan)部(bu)(鄉師(shi)科)在王(wang)家舍。
1930年,東中國文教師、清末舉人陳培壽(字(zi)輔卿)作《校(xiao)歌》,歌云:“覽勝樓何高高兮(xi),校(xiao)之(zhi)中央;有階梯之(zhi)可登兮(xi),萬方斯望(wang);集合九(jiu)區佳子弟,雍容肅穆(mu)志堅強。學兼中外兮(xi),文化發揚。如琢如磨兮(xi),與(yu)世偕藏(zang)。”同年出版首期校(xiao)刊《東鐘》。
1935年東(dong)中停辦鄉師科,校本部遷至王家舍,校名又(you)改為“東(dong)臺(tai)縣(xian)立初級中學(xue)”。
1938年(nian)(nian)(nian)(nian)3月(yue)(yue),日(ri)(ri)軍第一(yi)次入侵東臺,燒毀東中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)王家(jia)舍校舍。同年(nian)(nian)(nian)(nian)7月(yue)(yue),東中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)師生乘日(ri)(ri)軍南(nan)撤,遷(qian)(qian)回(hui)魁星(xing)樓舊址復課。次年(nian)(nian)(nian)(nian),東中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)遷(qian)(qian)至安豐;后(hou)(hou)遷(qian)(qian)至堤(di)西(xi)南(nan)朱莊(zhuang)、趙(zhao)家(jia)莊(zhuang)(原屬本縣時堰區(qu),今屬興化(hua)戴南(nan)區(qu));再遷(qian)(qian)至溱(zhen)潼(tong)、湖北(bei)口、開莊(zhuang)等地。1943年(nian)(nian)(nian)(nian)后(hou)(hou),在堤(di)西(xi)辦學(xue)(xue)的(de)東中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)處境日(ri)(ri)艱,難以(yi)開展正規中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)學(xue)(xue)教育,改為(wei)“東亭補習學(xue)(xue)社”。1943年(nian)(nian)(nian)(nian)9月(yue)(yue),蘇(su)中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)抗日(ri)(ri)民主政(zheng)權為(wei)堅持敵(di)后(hou)(hou)辦學(xue)(xue),將(jiang)栟(bing)茶(cha)(cha)中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)學(xue)(xue)(栟(bing)茶(cha)(cha)原屬東臺縣)遷(qian)(qian)至東臺許河魯灶。1944年(nian)(nian)(nian)(nian)春,又與(yu)轉移到魯灶辦學(xue)(xue)的(de)如皋(gao)中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)學(xue)(xue)、邱升中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)學(xue)(xue)、南(nan)通中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)學(xue)(xue)、紫石中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)學(xue)(xue)合(he)并,成立“蘇(su)中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)二分區(qu)聯合(he)中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)學(xue)(xue)”(簡(jian)稱(cheng)“二聯中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)”)。1944年(nian)(nian)(nian)(nian)11月(yue)(yue)重新劃區(qu),改稱(cheng)“蘇(su)中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)四(si)分區(qu)聯合(he)中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)學(xue)(xue)”(簡(jian)稱(cheng)“四(si)聯中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)”)。
1945年9月抗戰(zhan)勝利后,“四聯(lian)中”解(jie)散(san),師(shi)生分別回(hui)各縣(xian)(xian)復(fu)校(xiao)(xiao),“四聯(lian)中”的部分東(dong)(dong)(dong)臺(tai)(tai)(tai)(tai)籍師(shi)生則返回(hui)東(dong)(dong)(dong)臺(tai)(tai)(tai)(tai)縣(xian)(xian)城(cheng)。當時(shi)東(dong)(dong)(dong)臺(tai)(tai)(tai)(tai)縣(xian)(xian)抗日民(min)主(zhu)政府已(yi)沒收汪偽時(shi)的初(chu)(chu)中校(xiao)(xiao)舍,師(shi)生們就在臺(tai)(tai)(tai)(tai)城(cheng)旗(qi)桿(gan)巷恢復(fu)了(le)“東(dong)(dong)(dong)臺(tai)(tai)(tai)(tai)中學(xue)”,這是(shi)共產黨(dang)(dang)領導(dao)下的最早的東(dong)(dong)(dong)臺(tai)(tai)(tai)(tai)中學(xue)。縣(xian)(xian)長(chang)董希(xi)白兼(jian)任(ren)校(xiao)(xiao)長(chang),原(yuan)栟茶中學(xue)校(xiao)(xiao)長(chang)、四聯(lian)中簡(jian)師(shi)班的負責人何(he)晴(qing)波擔任(ren)副(fu)校(xiao)(xiao)長(chang)兼(jian)黨(dang)(dang)支部書記,主(zhu)持主(zhu)持學(xue)校(xiao)(xiao)工作。1946年夏,國(guo)民(min)黨(dang)(dang)軍隊進攻解(jie)放(fang)區,東(dong)(dong)(dong)臺(tai)(tai)(tai)(tai)縣(xian)(xian)民(min)主(zhu)政府所辦的“東(dong)(dong)(dong)臺(tai)(tai)(tai)(tai)中學(xue)”由臺(tai)(tai)(tai)(tai)城(cheng)轉移到三倉墩(dun)塘(tang)。同(tong)年10月,國(guo)民(min)黨(dang)(dang)縣(xian)(xian)政府遷(qian)至臺(tai)(tai)(tai)(tai)城(cheng),也在旗(qi)桿(gan)巷東(dong)(dong)(dong)中校(xiao)(xiao)舍內續辦起“東(dong)(dong)(dong)臺(tai)(tai)(tai)(tai)縣(xian)(xian)立初(chu)(chu)級中學(xue)”。1947年夏,中共中央軍委命令各地動員參軍參戰(zhan),墩(dun)塘(tang)的東(dong)(dong)(dong)中師(shi)生積極響應,部分教師(shi)和大部分學(xue)子投筆(bi)從(cong)戎,《江海(hai)導(dao)報》、延安人民(min)廣(guang)播電臺(tai)(tai)(tai)(tai)均專(zhuan)題報道褒揚。
1948年(nian)秋東(dong)(dong)(dong)臺(tai)(tai)解放,東(dong)(dong)(dong)臺(tai)(tai)縣(xian)人民政府又(you)一次接管了臺(tai)(tai)城旗桿(gan)巷校(xiao)(xiao)舍,東(dong)(dong)(dong)中(zhong)(zhong)也由墩塘遷回旗桿(gan)巷,更(geng)校(xiao)(xiao)名為(wei)(wei)“蘇皖邊區第一行(xing)政區東(dong)(dong)(dong)臺(tai)(tai)中(zhong)(zhong)學(xue)”,由何晴波擔任校(xiao)(xiao)長(chang)。1950年(nian)更(geng)校(xiao)(xiao)名為(wei)(wei)“蘇北東(dong)(dong)(dong)臺(tai)(tai)初級中(zhong)(zhong)學(xue)”,同年(nian)在(zai)臺(tai)(tai)城體(ti)育(yu)場(chang)(chang)邊建四(si)個教室上課。1952年(nian)征地百余(yu)畝,在(zai)臺(tai)(tai)城體(ti)育(yu)場(chang)(chang)東(dong)(dong)(dong)興建新校(xiao)(xiao)園。1953年(nian)遷入(ru)新校(xiao)(xiao)園開(kai)課,同年(nian)秋,東(dong)(dong)(dong)中(zhong)(zhong)增設高(gao)中(zhong)(zhong)部(bu)而(er)成為(wei)(wei)完中(zhong)(zhong),副縣(xian)長(chang)朱明熙兼(jian)任校(xiao)(xiao)長(chang),當(dang)年(nian)招(zhao)收高(gao)一新生兩個班,改(gai)校(xiao)(xiao)名為(wei)(wei)“東(dong)(dong)(dong)臺(tai)(tai)縣(xian)中(zhong)(zhong)學(xue)”。1964年(nian),東(dong)(dong)(dong)中(zhong)(zhong)被列為(wei)(wei)江蘇省(sheng)48所(suo)試(shi)點中(zhong)(zhong)學(xue)之一,開(kai)辦(ban)了二年(nian)制(zhi)高(gao)中(zhong)(zhong)試(shi)點班。
