嚴州中(zhong)(zhong)學(xue)(xue)歷史悠久,可以追溯到距今八(ba)百多年前(qian)。北(bei)宋文學(xue)(xue)家范(fan)仲淹,任(ren)睦州知府(fu)(fu)不久,就(jiu)捐薪創辦了龍山書院(yuan),這(zhe)(zhe)是嚴州府(fu)(fu)城中(zhong)(zhong)較(jiao)早(zao)的(de)書院(yuan),由(you)此揭開了古嚴州教育的(de)新篇章。1170年嚴州守(shou)臣張(zhang)敬夫(fu)創建麗(li)澤書院(yuan),邀(yao)著名(ming)教育家朱熹前(qian)來講學(xue)(xue)。清康熙時知府(fu)(fu)吳昌(chang)祚創建了文淵書院(yuan);嘉慶時,知府(fu)(fu)張(zhang)丙震改文淵書院(yuan)為雙峰書院(yuan),這(zhe)(zhe)便(bian)是嚴州中(zhong)(zhong)學(xue)(xue)的(de)前(qian)身。
在(zai)古(gu)(gu)嚴(yan)州(zhou)(zhou)府的(de)(de)北門,有一(yi)(yi)座(zuo)在(zai)中(zhong)國(guo)歷史上極富名(ming)望的(de)(de)百年(nian)名(ming)校,它就(jiu)是(shi)(shi)現在(zai)的(de)(de)浙江(jiang)(jiang)(jiang)省級(ji)一(yi)(yi)級(ji)重點(dian)中(zhong)學:嚴(yan)州(zhou)(zhou)中(zhong)學。古(gu)(gu)嚴(yan)州(zhou)(zhou)府設(she)立距今(jin)已(yi)1300多年(nian)歷史。嚴(yan)州(zhou)(zhou)府最初設(she)立在(zai)唐武(wu)德四年(nian)(621),當時(shi)(shi)嚴(yan)州(zhou)(zhou)轄(xia)桐廬(lu)、建(jian)德、分水(shui)3縣。從唐末(mo)起,嚴(yan)州(zhou)(zhou)府名(ming)稱和(he)轄(xia)地(di)雖偶有更(geng)改,但是(shi)(shi)基(ji)本穩定在(zai)轄(xia)建(jian)德、壽昌、桐廬(lu)、分水(shui)、淳安、遂安6縣。但是(shi)(shi)隨著時(shi)(shi)代的(de)(de)變(bian)遷,特別是(shi)(shi)建(jian)國(guo)后新安江(jiang)(jiang)(jiang)水(shui)電(dian)站(zhan)的(de)(de)建(jian)成,建(jian)德縣治從梅城(cheng)(cheng)搬到白沙,繁榮了(le)十多個(ge)世紀的(de)(de)梅城(cheng)(cheng)便漸趨(qu)冷(leng)落,許(xu)多曾經名(ming)噪一(yi)(yi)時(shi)(shi)的(de)(de)古(gu)(gu)跡文物也漸漸地(di)被人淡忘,如今(jin)三(san)山(shan)環(huan)峙(zhi)(富春(chun)(chun)山(shan)、烏龍山(shan)、南高峰)和(he)三(san)江(jiang)(jiang)(jiang)回流(富春(chun)(chun)江(jiang)(jiang)(jiang)、新安江(jiang)(jiang)(jiang)、蘭江(jiang)(jiang)(jiang))的(de)(de)梅城(cheng)(cheng),與(yu)新掘(jue)起的(de)(de)新安江(jiang)(jiang)(jiang)相比,不免顯得有點(dian)孤寂與(yu)凄涼。
嚴(yan)州(zhou)中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)學(xue)素以“嚴(yan)實(shi)”校(xiao)風著稱(cheng),恪守“嚴(yan)勤實(shi)敬(jing)”的校(xiao)訓(xun),秉(bing)承(cheng)“務本求(qiu)實(shi),創新(xin)求(qiu)真”的嚴(yan)中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)人(ren)精(jing)神,堅持“以人(ren)為本”的教育(yu)理念,營造良(liang)好文化氛圍,優化學(xue)校(xiao)育(yu)人(ren)環境。114年來,萬千學(xue)子在她的懷抱中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)求(qiu)知探索、奮進揚(yang)帆,已成為政(zheng)界要員、社(she)會名(ming)流(liu)、學(xue)術泰斗、商(shang)賈大腕:原(yuan)中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)共中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)央委(wei)(wei)員、中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)國(guo)(guo)武警部隊總政(zheng)委(wei)(wei)徐永清上將(jiang),原(yuan)中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)共中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)央委(wei)(wei)員、中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)國(guo)(guo)記者(zhe)協會主席邵(shao)華澤(ze)中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)將(jiang),中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)國(guo)(guo)工程院院士張(zhang)齊生教授(shou),新(xin)華通訊社(she)副社(she)長馬勝榮(rong)、何東(dong)君,原(yuan)國(guo)(guo)家地震局局長方(fang)樟順,原(yuan)文化部副部長石西(xi)民,著名(ming)學(xue)者(zhe)夏承(cheng)燾(dao)、嚴(yan)濟寬(kuan)、戴不凡……

清末,朝政腐敗,帝國(guo)主(zhu)義列強加緊(jin)瓜分中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)國(guo),民(min)族危機加深。此(ci)時維新(xin)變法運動亦(yi)日趨高漲。維新(xin)派在教(jiao)育(yu)方面提出了“改(gai)(gai)革科舉,興(xing)辦(ban)學(xue)(xue)(xue)(xue)(xue)(xue)堂(tang)(tang)(tang)(tang)(tang)(tang)”的(de)主(zhu)張,得到了光緒皇(huang)帝的(de)贊同。光緒于(yu)二(er)十(shi)(shi)(shi)四年(nian)(nian)(nian)(nian)(一(yi)(yi)(yi)(yi)八(ba)九(jiu)(jiu)(jiu)(jiu)(jiu)八(ba)年(nian)(nian)(nian)(nian))下詔改(gai)(gai)書院為(wei)學(xue)(xue)(xue)(xue)(xue)(xue)堂(tang)(tang)(tang)(tang)(tang)(tang)。光緒二(er)十(shi)(shi)(shi)七(qi)年(nian)(nian)(nian)(nian)(一(yi)(yi)(yi)(yi)九(jiu)(jiu)(jiu)(jiu)(jiu)零(ling)一(yi)(yi)(yi)(yi)年(nian)(nian)(nian)(nian)),嚴(yan)州知(zhi)府(fu)劉宗標商請雙峰書院院長(chang)(chang)王韌(ren),將府(fu)立(li)(li)(li)(li)(li)雙峰書院改(gai)(gai)為(wei)六睦學(xue)(xue)(xue)(xue)(xue)(xue)堂(tang)(tang)(tang)(tang)(tang)(tang)(意為(wei)睦州六縣之(zhi)學(xue)(xue)(xue)(xue)(xue)(xue)堂(tang)(tang)(tang)(tang)(tang)(tang)),王韌(ren)為(wei)堂(tang)(tang)(tang)(tang)(tang)(tang)長(chang)(chang),并(bing)立(li)(li)(li)(li)(li)石碑(bei)《修改(gai)(gai)六睦學(xue)(xue)(xue)(xue)(xue)(xue)堂(tang)(tang)(tang)(tang)(tang)(tang)記》。六睦學(xue)(xue)(xue)(xue)(xue)(xue)堂(tang)(tang)(tang)(tang)(tang)(tang)的(de)創(chuang)建,標志(zhi)現代新(xin)學(xue)(xue)(xue)(xue)(xue)(xue)之(zhi)始,這就是嚴(yan)州中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)學(xue)(xue)(xue)(xue)(xue)(xue)的(de)誕(dan)生。光緒二(er)十(shi)(shi)(shi)八(ba)年(nian)(nian)(nian)(nian)(一(yi)(yi)(yi)(yi)九(jiu)(jiu)(jiu)(jiu)(jiu)零(ling)二(er)年(nian)(nian)(nian)(nian)),頒布(bu)欽定(ding)學(xue)(xue)(xue)(xue)(xue)(xue)堂(tang)(tang)(tang)(tang)(tang)(tang)章程,規定(ding)學(xue)(xue)(xue)(xue)(xue)(xue)堂(tang)(tang)(tang)(tang)(tang)(tang)分大(da)、中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)、小(xiao)三(san)等(deng)。京(jing)城(cheng)、省(sheng)(sheng)會設高等(deng)學(xue)(xue)(xue)(xue)(xue)(xue)堂(tang)(tang)(tang)(tang)(tang)(tang)(即(ji)大(da)學(xue)(xue)(xue)(xue)(xue)(xue)堂(tang)(tang)(tang)(tang)(tang)(tang)),郡城(cheng)設中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)學(xue)(xue)(xue)(xue)(xue)(xue)堂(tang)(tang)(tang)(tang)(tang)(tang),州縣設小(xiao)學(xue)(xue)(xue)(xue)(xue)(xue)堂(tang)(tang)(tang)(tang)(tang)(tang)。次年(nian)(nian)(nian)(nian),嚴(yan)州知(zhi)府(fu)黃(huang)書霖改(gai)(gai)六睦學(xue)(xue)(xue)(xue)(xue)(xue)堂(tang)(tang)(tang)(tang)(tang)(tang)為(wei)嚴(yan)郡中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)學(xue)(xue)(xue)(xue)(xue)(xue)堂(tang)(tang)(tang)(tang)(tang)(tang),并(bing)立(li)(li)(li)(li)(li)石碑(bei)《嚴(yan)郡中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)學(xue)(xue)(xue)(xue)(xue)(xue)堂(tang)(tang)(tang)(tang)(tang)(tang)記》。宣統元年(nian)(nian)(nian)(nian)(一(yi)(yi)(yi)(yi)九(jiu)(jiu)(jiu)(jiu)(jiu)零(ling)九(jiu)(jiu)(jiu)(jiu)(jiu)年(nian)(nian)(nian)(nian)),嚴(yan)郡改(gai)(gai)歸省(sheng)(sheng)立(li)(li)(li)(li)(li),并(bing)依據(ju)浙(zhe)(zhe)江省(sheng)(sheng)屬各州郡的(de)排列次序改(gai)(gai)名(ming)(ming)為(wei)浙(zhe)(zhe)江省(sheng)(sheng)立(li)(li)(li)(li)(li)第九(jiu)(jiu)(jiu)(jiu)(jiu)中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)學(xue)(xue)(xue)(xue)(xue)(xue)堂(tang)(tang)(tang)(tang)(tang)(tang),簡稱九(jiu)(jiu)(jiu)(jiu)(jiu)中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)。民(min)國(guo)元年(nian)(nian)(nian)(nian)(一(yi)(yi)(yi)(yi)九(jiu)(jiu)(jiu)(jiu)(jiu)一(yi)(yi)(yi)(yi)二(er)年(nian)(nian)(nian)(nian)),根(gen)據(ju)新(xin)頒布(bu)的(de)壬子(zi)學(xue)(xue)(xue)(xue)(xue)(xue)制改(gai)(gai)名(ming)(ming)為(wei)浙(zhe)(zhe)江省(sheng)(sheng)立(li)(li)(li)(li)(li)第九(jiu)(jiu)(jiu)(jiu)(jiu)中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)學(xue)(xue)(xue)(xue)(xue)(xue)校。民(min)國(guo)十(shi)(shi)(shi)六年(nian)(nian)(nian)(nian)(一(yi)(yi)(yi)(yi)九(jiu)(jiu)(jiu)(jiu)(jiu)二(er)七(qi)年(nian)(nian)(nian)(nian))改(gai)(gai)名(ming)(ming)為(wei)浙(zhe)(zhe)江省(sheng)(sheng)立(li)(li)(li)(li)(li)第九(jiu)(jiu)(jiu)(jiu)(jiu)中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)學(xue)(xue)(xue)(xue)(xue)(xue)。民(min)國(guo)二(er)十(shi)(shi)(shi)二(er)年(nian)(nian)(nian)(nian)(一(yi)(yi)(yi)(yi)九(jiu)(jiu)(jiu)(jiu)(jiu)三(san)三(san)年(nian)(nian)(nian)(nian))七(qi)月(yue),改(gai)(gai)名(ming)(ming)為(wei)浙(zhe)(zhe)江省(sheng)(sheng)立(li)(li)(li)(li)(li)嚴(yan)州初級中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)學(xue)(xue)(xue)(xue)(xue)(xue)。民(min)國(guo)二(er)十(shi)(shi)(shi)九(jiu)(jiu)(jiu)(jiu)(jiu)年(nian)(nian)(nian)(nian)(一(yi)(yi)(yi)(yi)九(jiu)(jiu)(jiu)(jiu)(jiu)四零(ling)年(nian)(nian)(nian)(nian))七(qi)月(yue),奉令添(tian)(tian)設高中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)部,校名(ming)(ming)改(gai)(gai)為(wei)浙(zhe)(zhe)江省(sheng)(sheng)立(li)(li)(li)(li)(li)嚴(yan)州中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)學(xue)(xue)(xue)(xue)(xue)(xue),立(li)(li)(li)(li)(li)石碑(bei)《浙(zhe)(zhe)江省(sheng)(sheng)立(li)(li)(li)(li)(li)嚴(yan)州中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)學(xue)(xue)(xue)(xue)(xue)(xue)添(tian)(tian)設高中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)部記》(碑(bei)文由嚴(yan)濟寬校長(chang)(chang)撰(zhuan)寫)。一(yi)(yi)(yi)(yi)九(jiu)(jiu)(jiu)(jiu)(jiu)四九(jiu)(jiu)(jiu)(jiu)(jiu)年(nian)(nian)(nian)(nian)五(wu)月(yue)五(wu)日中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)國(guo)人民(min)解放軍(jun)解放梅城(cheng),人民(min)政府(fu)接管學(xue)(xue)(xue)(xue)(xue)(xue)校并(bing)實(shi)施新(xin)民(min)主(zhu)主(zhu)義教(jiao)育(yu)。一(yi)(yi)(yi)(yi)九(jiu)(jiu)(jiu)(jiu)(jiu)五(wu)四年(nian)(nian)(nian)(nian)校名(ming)(ming)改(gai)(gai)為(wei)浙(zhe)(zhe)江省(sheng)(sheng)嚴(yan)州中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)學(xue)(xue)(xue)(xue)(xue)(xue)。一(yi)(yi)(yi)(yi)九(jiu)(
