Stepping onto the grounds of Fukuoka City Katae Junior High School, imagine the echoes of students past. This isn’t just any school. Katae Junior High, often called “Katae Chugakko” or simply “Kata,” opened its doors in April 1985. It’s a public school, woven into the fabric of Fukuoka City’s Jonan Ward. The school mottoes, “Independence,” “Cooperation,” and “Service,” resonate through the hallways. Think of generations of students striving to embody these principles. In 1991, the school gained recognition as a designated research school by the Fukuoka City Board of Education. A year later, in May 1992, it achieved further distinction as a designated research school by the Ministry of Education. This speaks volumes about Katae Junior High’s commitment to innovative educational practices. Fast forward to 1994, the school celebrated its 10th anniversary. Similar celebrations marked the 20th anniversary in 2004 and the 30th in 2014. These milestones aren’t just dates on a calendar. They represent the enduring spirit of Katae Junior High. The school isn’t just about academics. It offers a vibrant array of extracurricular activities. From sports like baseball, soccer, and track and field to cultural pursuits like the brass band, art club, and broadcasting club, there’s something for everyone. Picture students practicing their instruments, creating artwork, or delivering the latest school news. Katae Junior High is more than bricks and mortar. It’s a living testament to the power of education and community.
