嚴州中(zhong)(zhong)學歷史悠久,可(ke)以追溯到(dao)距今八(ba)百(bai)多(duo)年前。北宋文(wen)學家(jia)范仲(zhong)淹,任睦州知(zhi)府(fu)(fu)(fu)不久,就捐薪創辦(ban)了龍(long)山(shan)書院,這是嚴州府(fu)(fu)(fu)城(cheng)中(zhong)(zhong)較早的(de)書院,由此揭開了古嚴州教育的(de)新(xin)篇章(zhang)。1170年嚴州守臣張敬(jing)夫創建麗澤書院,邀著名教育家(jia)朱熹(xi)前來講學。清康(kang)熙時知(zhi)府(fu)(fu)(fu)吳昌(chang)祚創建了文(wen)淵書院;嘉慶時,知(zhi)府(fu)(fu)(fu)張丙震改(gai)文(wen)淵書院為(wei)雙(shuang)峰書院,這便(bian)是嚴州中(zhong)(zhong)學的(de)前身(shen)。
在(zai)古嚴州(zhou)(zhou)府(fu)(fu)(fu)的(de)北門(men),有(you)(you)一(yi)座在(zai)中(zhong)國歷史上極(ji)富名(ming)望的(de)百年(nian)名(ming)校,它就(jiu)是(shi)現在(zai)的(de)浙(zhe)江省級(ji)一(yi)級(ji)重點中(zhong)學(xue):嚴州(zhou)(zhou)中(zhong)學(xue)。古嚴州(zhou)(zhou)府(fu)(fu)(fu)設(she)立距今已1300多(duo)(duo)年(nian)歷史。嚴州(zhou)(zhou)府(fu)(fu)(fu)最初設(she)立在(zai)唐武德(de)四年(nian)(621),當時(shi)(shi)嚴州(zhou)(zhou)轄桐(tong)廬(lu)、建(jian)(jian)德(de)、分水(shui)(shui)3縣(xian)。從唐末起(qi),嚴州(zhou)(zhou)府(fu)(fu)(fu)名(ming)稱和轄地雖偶有(you)(you)更改,但是(shi)基本穩定(ding)在(zai)轄建(jian)(jian)德(de)、壽昌、桐(tong)廬(lu)、分水(shui)(shui)、淳(chun)安(an)(an)、遂安(an)(an)6縣(xian)。但是(shi)隨著時(shi)(shi)代的(de)變(bian)遷,特別(bie)是(shi)建(jian)(jian)國后新(xin)(xin)安(an)(an)江水(shui)(shui)電站的(de)建(jian)(jian)成,建(jian)(jian)德(de)縣(xian)治從梅城(cheng)搬到白沙,繁榮(rong)了十(shi)多(duo)(duo)個世紀(ji)的(de)梅城(cheng)便漸趨冷落,許多(duo)(duo)曾(ceng)經名(ming)噪(zao)一(yi)時(shi)(shi)的(de)古跡文物也漸漸地被人淡忘,如今三(san)(san)山環峙(富春山、烏龍(long)山、南高峰)和三(san)(san)江回流(富春江、新(xin)(xin)安(an)(an)江、蘭江)的(de)梅城(cheng),與新(xin)(xin)掘(jue)起(qi)的(de)新(xin)(xin)安(an)(an)江相比(bi),不免顯得有(you)(you)點孤寂(ji)與凄涼。
嚴(yan)州(zhou)中學素以(yi)“嚴(yan)實(shi)(shi)”校(xiao)風著稱(cheng),恪守“嚴(yan)勤實(shi)(shi)敬”的(de)校(xiao)訓(xun),秉承“務(wu)本(ben)求(qiu)實(shi)(shi),創新求(qiu)真”的(de)嚴(yan)中人精(jing)神,堅持(chi)“以(yi)人為本(ben)”的(de)教育理念,營(ying)造良好文(wen)化(hua)氛圍,優化(hua)學校(xiao)育人環境(jing)。114年來,萬千學子在她的(de)懷抱中求(qiu)知(zhi)探索、奮進揚帆,已成為政(zheng)界要員(yuan)、社會名流、學術(shu)泰(tai)斗(dou)、商賈大(da)腕:原中共中央(yang)委(wei)員(yuan)、中國(guo)武警(jing)部(bu)隊總政(zheng)委(wei)徐永清上將(jiang)(jiang),原中共中央(yang)委(wei)員(yuan)、中國(guo)記(ji)者協會主席邵華澤中將(jiang)(jiang),中國(guo)工程院(yuan)院(yuan)士(shi)張齊生教授(shou),新華通(tong)訊社副(fu)社長馬勝榮、何東君(jun),原國(guo)家地(di)震局(ju)局(ju)長方樟順,原文(wen)化(hua)部(bu)副(fu)部(bu)長石西民,著名學者夏承燾(dao)、嚴(yan)濟寬、戴不凡……
目前,嚴州中(zhong)學除了(le)原有(you)的(de)梅城(cheng)校(xiao)區外(wai),又于(yu)2001年投入使用了(le)坐落于(yu)新(xin)安江城(cheng)東開發區的(de)新(xin)校(xiao)區,占地260余畝,建筑面(mian)積近5萬平方米,擁有(you)齊全的(de)教(jiao)(jiao)(jiao)學設備(bei)(bei)。計有(you)天文臺、天文望(wang)遠(yuan)鏡、現代(dai)化的(de)教(jiao)(jiao)(jiao)學樓(lou)(lou)、辦(ban)公樓(lou)(lou)、科技樓(lou)(lou)、學術報告廳(ting)(ting)、體藝樓(lou)(lou)、圖(tu)書館(guan)、體育館(guan)、公寓式學生宿舍、學習(xi)餐廳(ting)(ting)、標準田徑(jing)場、塑膠跑道、各類(lei)球場等(deng)等(deng)。實驗、電教(jiao)(jiao)(jiao)、勞技、體音美(mei)設備(bei)(bei)一應俱(ju)全。還配備(bei)(bei)有(you)學校(xiao)雙(shuang)向(xiang)閉路電視系統(tong)和廣播系統(tong)、計算機網絡系統(tong)、電話通訊系統(tong)等(deng)。嚴州中(zhong)學正以高(gao)規格的(de)辦(ban)學條件、高(gao)水平的(de)教(jiao)(jiao)(jiao)師隊(dui)伍、高(gao)質量的(de)教(jiao)(jiao)(jiao)學成果,以“弘揚百年校(xiao)風(feng),再(zai)鑄世紀輝煌(huang)”的(de)熱情(qing),團結進取,韜(tao)勵奮發,去開創嶄新(xin)的(de)明天。
