On April 24, 1995, the preliminary offices of the school (then planned as the
Linkou High School) were established under the permission of Taiwan Education Department. On August 1, 1998, Chang Pao-kuang, the director of the Bureau of Education, was assigned to be the director of the Linkou High School's preliminary office, beginning the school's blueprinting. On February 1, 2000, the planned school was nationalised and thus renamed as the National Linkou High School. On January 1, 2013 the school's governance was handed to the
New Taipei municipality, leading to its present name, the
New Taipei Municipal Linkou Senior High School. As of 2013 the school has a total of 45 classes, with 15 per grade. == Student life ==
