東臺中(zhong)學(xue)初名“東臺縣中(zhong)學(xue)堂(tang)(tang)兼師范學(xue)堂(tang)(tang)”(俗(su)稱“兩(liang)堂(tang)(tang)”), 系清(qing)末“兩(liang)江學(xue)務(wu)處”批準建立的官辦學(xue)堂(tang)(tang)。光緒三十一(yi)年(1905)秋(qiu),學(xue)堂(tang)(tang)正式開校(xiao),
辛亥(hai)革命(1911)后東臺縣成(cheng)立民(min)(min)政署,接管了“兩堂(tang)”學務,民(min)(min)國元年(1912)起改稱學堂(tang)為學校,校產校舍均登記入冊。民(min)(min)國初建,學校突遭意外事故,經管人(ren)卷款而逃。
清(qing)末狀元、民國實業(ye)家張(zhang)謇的熱心關注(zhu)。張(zhang)謇的母親是(shi)東(dong)臺(tai)人,為報效母親故里,他于1919年在東(dong)臺(tai)恢復師范教(jiao)育(yu),辦起了“母里師范”。
當時東(dong)(dong)(dong)中魁(kui)星樓的(de)(de)校(xiao)(xiao)舍仍(reng)在,母里(li)師(shi)范首任校(xiao)(xiao)長張詧(cha)便向東(dong)(dong)(dong)臺(tai)縣公署暫借魁(kui)星樓作校(xiao)(xiao)舍,于1920年(nian)開班上(shang)課。1921年(nian),母里(li)師(shi)范新建的(de)(de)校(xiao)(xiao)舍在東(dong)(dong)(dong)臺(tai)城郊王(wang)家(jia)(jia)舍落成,校(xiao)(xiao)址即由魁(kui)星樓遷往王(wang)家(jia)(jia)舍。迫于社(she)會呼(hu)聲和張謇(jian)獨資辦(ban)師(shi)范的(de)(de)影響。
到1924年時,東(dong)(dong)臺縣公署決(jue)定恢復(fu)中學教(jiao)育(yu),在東(dong)(dong)中原址(zhi)魁(kui)星樓復(fu)辦(ban)了(le)“東(dong)(dong)臺縣立初級中學”,聘(pin)旅日(ri)留學回鄉的(de)楊(yang)琬先(xian)生擔任校長,并于1925年開班上課。自1924年起,東(dong)(dong)臺終于完(wan)全(quan)恢復(fu)了(le)中學和師(shi)范(fan)教(jiao)育(yu),形成了(le)東(dong)(dong)臺中學和母里師(shi)范(fan)兩(liang)校并存的(de)格局。
1927年初,在復旦大學(xue)東(dong)(dong)臺籍學(xue)生、共產黨員黃逸峰的(de)(de)領(ling)導下,組織東(dong)(dong)臺中學(xue)和(he)母(mu)里師(shi)(shi)范(fan)的(de)(de)部(bu)(bu)分進步青(qing)年,成立(li)了“C.Y(共青(qing)團)東(dong)(dong)臺中學(xue)、母(mu)里師(shi)(shi)范(fan)聯合(he)支部(bu)(bu)”,配合(he)國民大革命進行(xing)反帝反封建(jian)斗爭。張謇(jian)逝(shi)世后(hou),母(mu)里師(shi)(shi)范(fan)終因(yin)經(jing)費匱乏于1928年停辦,王家(jia)舍的(de)(de)全部(bu)(bu)校(xiao)舍校(xiao)產均贈歸地方政府。
1929年,東臺縣政府(fu)將(jiang)王家舍原母里師范的校舍校產劃歸東中。
1930年(nian),東中(zhong)(zhong)改(gai)校名為(wei)“東臺縣立中(zhong)(zhong)學(xue)”,設中(zhong)(zhong)學(xue)和師范兩部,中(zhong)(zhong)學(xue)部在魁(kui)星(xing)樓(改(gai)名覽勝樓),師范部(鄉師科(ke))在王家(jia)舍。
1930年,東中國文(wen)教師、清末舉人陳培壽(字輔卿)作《校歌》,歌云:“覽勝樓何高高兮,校之(zhi)中央;有階(jie)梯(ti)之(zhi)可(ke)登兮,萬方(fang)斯望(wang);集合九區佳子弟(di),雍容肅穆志堅強。學(xue)兼中外(wai)兮,文(wen)化發揚。如琢如磨兮,與(yu)世偕藏。”同(tong)年出版(ban)首(shou)期(qi)校刊《東鐘》。
1935年東中停辦鄉師科,校(xiao)本部遷至王(wang)家舍,校(xiao)名(ming)又改為“東臺縣(xian)立初(chu)級中學(xue)”。
1938年(nian)3月,日(ri)軍第(di)一次入侵東臺(tai)(tai),燒毀(hui)東中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)王家舍校舍。同年(nian)7月,東中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)師(shi)生乘日(ri)軍南撤(che),遷(qian)(qian)回魁星(xing)樓(lou)舊(jiu)址復課。次年(nian),東中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)遷(qian)(qian)至(zhi)安豐;后遷(qian)(qian)至(zhi)堤(di)西南朱莊(zhuang)、趙家莊(zhuang)(原(yuan)(yuan)屬(shu)本縣時堰(yan)區(qu),今屬(shu)興化戴(dai)南區(qu));再遷(qian)(qian)至(zhi)溱潼、湖北口、開莊(zhuang)等地。1943年(nian)后,在堤(di)西辦(ban)學(xue)的東中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)處境(jing)日(ri)艱,難以開展正規(gui)中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)學(xue)教育,改為“東亭(ting)補(bu)習學(xue)社”。1943年(nian)9月,蘇(su)中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)抗日(ri)民主政權為堅持敵后辦(ban)學(xue),將(jiang)栟(bing)(bing)茶(cha)中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)學(xue)(栟(bing)(bing)茶(cha)原(yuan)(yuan)屬(shu)東臺(tai)(tai)縣)遷(qian)(qian)至(zhi)東臺(tai)(tai)許河魯(lu)灶。1944年(nian)春,又與轉移到魯(lu)灶辦(ban)學(xue)的如皋中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)學(xue)、邱升中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)學(xue)、南通中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)學(xue)、紫石中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)學(xue)合(he)并,成立“蘇(su)中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)二(er)(er)分區(qu)聯合(he)中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)學(xue)”(簡(jian)稱(cheng)“二(er)(er)聯中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)”)。1944年(nian)11月重新劃區(qu),改稱(cheng)“蘇(su)中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)四分區(qu)聯合(he)中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)學(xue)”(簡(jian)稱(cheng)“四聯中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)”)。
