School History

In 1917, a conference of provincial, city, and county representatives, as well as business leaders, was held in Jeonju. They decided to establish a private high school in Jeonju and submitted the plan to the central government, but it was delayed and eventually approved as a government school. This marked the inception of Jeonju High School. The school was initially founded to cultivate national spirit and potential for independence as part of the movement to regain national sovereignty. After liberation, the educational objective shifted to "nurturing sincere and capable individuals who contribute to national development by realizing their potential."

The school was established as 'Gwanrip Jeonju High School' with a four-year curriculum on March 31, 1919, and opened on June 16 of the same year. It was later renamed 'Jeonju Buk Middle School' in 1938. After liberation in 1946, the school was renamed 'Jeonbuk Public Middle School' and transitioned to a six-year system. In 1951, the six-year middle school system was abolished, and the school was split into 'Jeonju Buk Middle School' and 'Jeonju High School.' The main building was destroyed by fire in 1969, and a new building was constructed in 1970, which remains in use today.

On February 6, 2018, the 95th graduating class graduated, bringing the total number of graduates to 39,416.

School Life

Students must arrive by 8:20 AM.

The school operates a school bus service for commuting.

Regular classes consist of four morning periods, three afternoon periods, two supplementary periods, and two evening self-study periods. Each regular class lasts for 50 minutes, with a 10-minute break between periods.

Supplementary classes are continuous for third-year students, and two weeks before exams, classes are suspended, and self-study sessions are held at Nosong Library.

Evening self-study sessions are mandatory for all students from grades 1 to 3, and are held at the Nosong Library. Dormitory students also participate in morning self-study, with first and second-year students using the Nosong Library and third-year students using the Next Space C Room.

For first-year students, there may be free periods during the seventh period on Wednesdays or Fridays, but unlike other schools, there are no days where classes end after the sixth period.

For second and third-year students, as elective classes increase, students often have to move between classrooms, making the 10-minute break between periods feel short, especially for classes like 2nd-year Class 7 and 8, which require frequent movement between floors.

Ujeong Dormitory

Selection is based on academic performance.

The dormitory is divided into two wings: Wing 1 houses 40 third-year students, 10 second-year students, and 10 first-year students, while Wing 2 accommodates 30 second-year students and 30 first-year students.

Dormitory students are required to participate in supplementary classes, evening self-study, and other school activities.

Unlike regular students, dormitory students must register for breakfast and must leave the dormitory by 7:20 AM after a morning roll call at 6:30 AM. Additionally, self-study sessions are held in the dormitory from 10:40 PM to 12:00 AM.

Additional Information

Judo

Only first-year students take a one-hour weekly Judo class in the Judo Hall with the Judo instructor.

Due to COVID-19, the 100th to 102nd classes did not receive Judo training, which resumed with the 103rd class.

Google Classroom

For first-year students, Google Classroom may be unfamiliar at first. However, most assignments and announcements are communicated through Classroom. Since COVID-19 in 2020, it has become an essential part of school life at Jeonju High School.

Riro School

Starting in May 2024, the Riro School app will be used for dormitory and evening self-study attendance, and parents can easily check attendance and grades.

IamSchool

This app is used for online communication of school notices. It includes separate apps for students ('I am Student') and parents ('I am Parent'). Students can also use this app to sign up for dinner, view daily meal menus, and access important school notices.

Classcard

This app is primarily used for English vocabulary tests. Students take a test that involves quickly choosing the correct answer from four options as part of a vocabulary memorization performance assessment.

School Network (Online) Grading System

This system is accessible only through the internal school network (Wi-Fi) and is used for grading after exams. Scores are uploaded here, and teachers complete the grading of written answers. After each exam, students are frequently reminded to finalize their scores. After each exam, students' DLS accounts are reset to their default passwords, so it's important to change the password to ensure privacy.

Jeonju High School Network Grading System (Accessible only within the school network)

Given the frequent use of smart devices for assignments and surveys, it might be challenging to manage school life without at least one device. Jeonju High School has allowed the use of smartphones during school hours for many years, and laptops provided through the 2024 educational device distribution program can also be freely carried in and out of school.

Jeonju High Nosong Global Experience

Starting in 2024, the Jeonju High and Buk Middle School North America Alumni Association will provide $25,000 annually for 10 years to fund a 10-day study tour in the United States. The first selected students—Lim Hyunwoo, Kim Minjae, Jang Younghwan, Kim Daehyun, Kim Youngjae, Lee Hyunbin, Ahn Eunho, Choi Seungwon, Jung Woongin, and Jung Eunsung—visited prestigious universities on the East Coast, including Harvard, Yale, MIT, and Princeton.
