嚴州(zhou)中(zhong)學歷史悠久(jiu),可以追溯(su)到距今八(ba)百(bai)多年前。北(bei)宋文學家范仲淹,任睦(mu)州(zhou)知府(fu)(fu)不久(jiu),就捐薪創辦了(le)龍山書(shu)(shu)院(yuan),這是(shi)嚴州(zhou)府(fu)(fu)城中(zhong)較早(zao)的書(shu)(shu)院(yuan),由此揭開了(le)古嚴州(zhou)教育(yu)(yu)的新篇章。1170年嚴州(zhou)守臣張(zhang)敬夫創建麗澤書(shu)(shu)院(yuan),邀著名教育(yu)(yu)家朱(zhu)熹前來講學。清康熙(xi)時知府(fu)(fu)吳昌祚(zuo)創建了(le)文淵(yuan)書(shu)(shu)院(yuan);嘉(jia)慶(qing)時,知府(fu)(fu)張(zhang)丙(bing)震改文淵(yuan)書(shu)(shu)院(yuan)為雙(shuang)峰(feng)書(shu)(shu)院(yuan),這便(bian)是(shi)嚴州(zhou)中(zhong)學的前身。
在(zai)(zai)(zai)古嚴(yan)(yan)(yan)州府(fu)的(de)(de)北門(men),有一(yi)座在(zai)(zai)(zai)中國(guo)歷史(shi)(shi)上極富(fu)名望的(de)(de)百(bai)年名校,它就是現在(zai)(zai)(zai)的(de)(de)浙(zhe)江(jiang)省級一(yi)級重(zhong)點中學(xue):嚴(yan)(yan)(yan)州中學(xue)。古嚴(yan)(yan)(yan)州府(fu)設(she)立距(ju)今(jin)已1300多(duo)年歷史(shi)(shi)。嚴(yan)(yan)(yan)州府(fu)最初設(she)立在(zai)(zai)(zai)唐武(wu)德四年(621),當時(shi)(shi)嚴(yan)(yan)(yan)州轄桐廬、建(jian)(jian)德、分水(shui)3縣(xian)。從(cong)唐末起,嚴(yan)(yan)(yan)州府(fu)名稱和轄地(di)雖偶有更改,但(dan)是基本穩定在(zai)(zai)(zai)轄建(jian)(jian)德、壽昌、桐廬、分水(shui)、淳(chun)安(an)(an)、遂安(an)(an)6縣(xian)。但(dan)是隨著時(shi)(shi)代的(de)(de)變遷,特別(bie)是建(jian)(jian)國(guo)后新(xin)(xin)安(an)(an)江(jiang)水(shui)電站的(de)(de)建(jian)(jian)成,建(jian)(jian)德縣(xian)治從(cong)梅城搬到白沙(sha),繁榮了十(shi)多(duo)個世紀(ji)的(de)(de)梅城便漸趨冷落(luo),許多(duo)曾經名噪一(yi)時(shi)(shi)的(de)(de)古跡文物也漸漸地(di)被人(ren)淡忘,如(ru)今(jin)三(san)山環峙(富(fu)春山、烏龍(long)山、南高峰(feng))和三(san)江(jiang)回流(liu)(富(fu)春江(jiang)、新(xin)(xin)安(an)(an)江(jiang)、蘭江(jiang))的(de)(de)梅城,與(yu)新(xin)(xin)掘起的(de)(de)新(xin)(xin)安(an)(an)江(jiang)相比,不免顯(xian)得有點孤寂與(yu)凄涼。
嚴州中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)學(xue)素以(yi)“嚴實”校(xiao)(xiao)風(feng)著稱(cheng),恪守“嚴勤實敬”的(de)(de)(de)校(xiao)(xiao)訓,秉(bing)承“務本求實,創新(xin)求真(zhen)”的(de)(de)(de)嚴中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)人(ren)精神(shen),堅持“以(yi)人(ren)為本”的(de)(de)(de)教育理念,營造良好文化氛圍,優化學(xue)校(xiao)(xiao)育人(ren)環境。114年(nian)來,萬千學(xue)子(zi)在她的(de)(de)(de)懷抱(bao)中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)求知(zhi)探索、奮進揚帆,已成為政(zheng)界要(yao)員、社會(hui)名(ming)(ming)流、學(xue)術泰斗、商賈大(da)腕:原(yuan)(yuan)(yuan)中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)共中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)央委員、中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)國(guo)(guo)武警(jing)部隊總政(zheng)委徐永(yong)清上(shang)將,原(yuan)(yuan)(yuan)中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)共中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)央委員、中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)國(guo)(guo)記者(zhe)協會(hui)主席邵華澤中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)將,中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)國(guo)(guo)工程院院士(shi)張(zhang)齊生教授,新(xin)華通訊社副社長(chang)馬勝榮、何東(dong)君,原(yuan)(yuan)(yuan)國(guo)(guo)家地震局(ju)局(ju)長(chang)方樟順,原(yuan)(yuan)(yuan)文化部副部長(chang)石西民,著名(ming)(ming)學(xue)者(zhe)夏承燾(dao)、嚴濟(ji)寬、戴不(bu)凡……
