東臺(tai)中學初名“東臺(tai)縣中學堂(tang)兼師(shi)范學堂(tang)”(俗(su)稱“兩(liang)堂(tang)”), 系清末(mo)“兩(liang)江學務(wu)處”批準建立的官辦學堂(tang)。光緒三十(shi)一年(1905)秋,學堂(tang)正式開校,
辛亥革命(1911)后東(dong)臺縣成(cheng)立(li)民政署,接管(guan)了“兩(liang)堂(tang)”學務,民國元年(1912)起改(gai)稱(cheng)學堂(tang)為學校,校產校舍均登記入冊。民國初(chu)建,學校突(tu)遭意外事故,經(jing)管(guan)人卷款而逃。
清末狀元、民國(guo)實業(ye)家張謇的(de)(de)熱心關注。張謇的(de)(de)母親是(shi)東(dong)臺人,為報效母親故里,他于1919年在東(dong)臺恢復師范教(jiao)育,辦起了(le)“母里師范”。
當時東中魁(kui)星(xing)樓(lou)的(de)校舍(she)仍在,母里師(shi)范(fan)首(shou)任校長(chang)張(zhang)詧便向東臺縣公署暫借魁(kui)星(xing)樓(lou)作校舍(she),于(yu)1920年開班(ban)上課。1921年,母里師(shi)范(fan)新建的(de)校舍(she)在東臺城郊(jiao)王(wang)家(jia)舍(she)落成(cheng),校址即由魁(kui)星(xing)樓(lou)遷往王(wang)家(jia)舍(she)。迫(po)于(yu)社會呼聲(sheng)和張(zhang)謇獨資辦師(shi)范(fan)的(de)影響。
到1924年(nian)時,東(dong)(dong)臺(tai)縣(xian)公署決(jue)定恢復(fu)(fu)中(zhong)(zhong)學(xue)(xue)教育,在東(dong)(dong)中(zhong)(zhong)原(yuan)址魁星(xing)樓復(fu)(fu)辦了(le)(le)“東(dong)(dong)臺(tai)縣(xian)立(li)初級中(zhong)(zhong)學(xue)(xue)”,聘旅日留學(xue)(xue)回鄉的(de)楊(yang)琬先生擔任(ren)校(xiao)長,并于(yu)1925年(nian)開班上課。自1924年(nian)起,東(dong)(dong)臺(tai)終(zhong)于(yu)完(wan)全恢復(fu)(fu)了(le)(le)中(zhong)(zhong)學(xue)(xue)和師范教育,形成了(le)(le)東(dong)(dong)臺(tai)中(zhong)(zhong)學(xue)(xue)和母里師范兩校(xiao)并存的(de)格局。
1927年初,在復旦大(da)學東(dong)(dong)臺籍學生、共產黨(dang)員黃逸峰的(de)(de)領導下,組織東(dong)(dong)臺中學和母里師范的(de)(de)部(bu)分進(jin)(jin)步青年,成(cheng)立了“C.Y(共青團)東(dong)(dong)臺中學、母里師范聯合支(zhi)部(bu)”,配(pei)合國(guo)民(min)大(da)革命(ming)進(jin)(jin)行反帝反封建斗(dou)爭(zheng)。張(zhang)謇逝世后(hou),母里師范終(zhong)因經費(fei)匱乏于1928年停(ting)辦,王家舍(she)的(de)(de)全(quan)部(bu)校舍(she)校產均(jun)贈歸地方(fang)政府。
1929年(nian),東(dong)臺(tai)縣政(zheng)府將王家舍原(yuan)母里師范的校(xiao)舍校(xiao)產(chan)劃(hua)歸東(dong)中。
1930年,東(dong)中改校名為(wei)“東(dong)臺(tai)縣立中學(xue)”,設中學(xue)和師范兩部,中學(xue)部在(zai)魁(kui)星樓(改名覽勝(sheng)樓),師范部(鄉師科)在(zai)王家舍(she)。
1930年,東中國文(wen)教師(shi)、清末舉(ju)人(ren)陳培壽(字輔(fu)卿(qing))作《校(xiao)歌》,歌云:“覽勝樓何高(gao)(gao)高(gao)(gao)兮(xi),校(xiao)之(zhi)中央;有(you)階梯之(zhi)可登(deng)兮(xi),萬方斯望(wang);集合(he)九區佳子(zi)弟,雍容肅穆志堅強。學兼中外兮(xi),文(wen)化(hua)發揚。如琢如磨兮(xi),與世偕藏。”同年出版首(shou)期校(xiao)刊《東鐘(zhong)》。
1935年東(dong)中停辦鄉師科,校本部遷至王家(jia)舍,校名(ming)又改(gai)為“東(dong)臺縣立初級(ji)中學”。
