In July 1902, at the initiative of
Sun Yirang, the Wenzhou government's Zhongshan Academy located in the city of Cangqiao was changed to Wenzhou Government College, which is the predecessor of Wenzhou High School. In 1906, Wenzhou Government College was renamed Wenzhou Government College of
Zhejiang Province. In that year, Liu Shaokuan became the principal. In May 1911, Wenzhou Government College of
Zhejiang Province was renamed the Tenth Middle School of Zhejiang Province, and the school was still located in Cangqiao. In 1925, the Tenth Middle School of Zhejiang Province changed its name to Zhejiang Tenth Middle School, abolished the teacher training department, and set up the senior high school, junior high school and elementary school departments; two years later, the school was renamed Zhejiang Provincial Tenth Middle School again.

Sino-Japanese war broke out.

Chinese Communist Party, and Wenzhou High School entered a new period of development. 1953, Wenzhou High School was established as one of the 14 first-class high schools in the province, under the direct control of the Provincial Education Department.

In 1965, the school was moved to the Jiushan River. In 1985, the school was renamed "Wenzhou High School of Zhejiang Province".
