Zhengzhou No. 47 Middle School (郑州市 第四十七 中学 Zhèng-zhōu-shì dì-sì-shí-qī zhōng-xué) is one of the youngest and one of the most famous middle schools in Zhengzhou, the capital city of Henan Province, China.
Zhengzhou No. 47 Middle School was founded in 1996 when it had its first intake of junior middle school students only. In August 1997, it had its first intake of senior middle school school students and became a middle school with both junior and senior students.
Zhengzhou No. 47 Middle School gained its fame in Zhengzhou City very fast since it was founded.
In 2002, the first batch of students who studied in both junior and senior middle schools in Zhengzhou No. 47 Middle School graduated. Among these students, one entered Beijing University, one Qinghua University and one University of Science and Technology of China. This was regarded as a huge success for the school.
Famous quotes containing the words middle and/or school:
“Reprehension is a kind of middle thing betwixt admonition and correction: it is sharpe admonition, but a milde correction. It is rather to be used because it may be a meanes to prevent strokes and blowes, especially in ingenuous and good natured children. [Blows are] the last remedy which a parent can use: a remedy which may doe good when nothing else can.”
—William Gouge, Puritan writer. As quoted in The Rise and Fall of Childhood by C. John Sommerville, ch. 11 (rev. 1990)
“I’m tired of playing worn-out depressing ladies in frayed bathrobes. I’m going to get a new hairdo and look terrific and go back to school and even if nobody notices, I’m going to be the most self-fulfilled lady on the block.”
—Joanne Woodward (b. 1930)
