大阪市立宮原中学校

1982. A new school was needed. Osaka’s Miyahara Junior High School officially opened its doors on April 1st. Right here, at Osaka Shiritsu Miyahara Chugakko, we stand on the grounds of a school born from necessity. The burgeoning student population at Osaka Shiritsu Mikuni Junior High School demanded a solution. Miyahara Junior High School offered that solution. It split off, taking some of the strain and establishing itself as the sixth public junior high school in Yodogawa Ward. The school quickly took shape. By May 21st, the gymnasium was complete. Just a month later, on June 30th, the school pool was finished. The following year, on June 16, 1983, Miyahara Junior High School adopted its school song. A point of pride and unity for the growing student body. This school serves a specific area. Children from Osaka Shiritsu Kita-Nakajima Elementary School and Osaka Shiritsu Miyahara Elementary School attend Miyahara Junior High. Their homes are scattered throughout the Higashimikuni, Miyahara, and Mikuni Honmachi neighborhoods. In 2012, the school’s attendance zone shifted slightly. A portion of Nishi-Miyahara 2-chome was reassigned to Mikuni Junior High. This readjustment reflects the ever-changing needs of a dynamic city. As we stand here, consider the thousands of students who have walked these halls. They learned, laughed, and grew within these walls. Miyahara Junior High School is more than just bricks and mortar. It is a testament to community and growth, a vital part of Osaka’s educational landscape.
