The current campus is located on the Tamalin archaeological site () of the Neolithic Age. In the past thirty years, earthquake reconstruction and school building projects have triggered discussions about the protection and destruction of underground archaeological site and cultural relics.
History
Puli Middle School and its predecessor The earliest predecessor of CNASH can be traced back to the "Jiezhuang Group Puli Home Economics Girls' School" () established in 1943 during The period of Japanese rule. It was later renamed "Puli Agricultural Practice Girls' School" (). In 1944, the school was restructured into "Taiwan Public Puli Girls' Agricultural Practice School" School" (). After the Government of the Republic of China came to Taiwan in 1945, it was taken over by the Taichung Prefecture Takeover Committee on December 6 of the same year and renamed "Taichung County Puli Girls' Home Economics School"(). In 1946, due to the reorganization of Taiwan's academic system, the higher education or youth schools attached to national schools during the period of Japanese rule were abolished, greatly reducing the opportunities for national school graduates to enter higher education. In February of this year, the Provincial Education Bureau promulgated the "Measures for the Establishment of County and Municipal Secondary Schools", and the Taichung County Government selected places such as Nantou, Yushan, Nenggao and Zhushan to set up junior high schools. In March of this year, Puli gentry Wanchu Luo () and Qiu Xu () could not bear to see graduates who wanted to further their education have to travel and travel to other places to study. So they jointly fought for the establishment of a secondary school in the Puli area. On April 22 of the same year, the Taichung County Government approved the reorganization of the school building and land of the Taichung County Puli Girls' Home Economics School into the "Taichung County Puli Junior High School" (). Later, due to the 1950 In August, Taiwan's administrative regions were redrawn, and the Nantou area became independent from Taichung County. "Taichung County Puli Junior High School" was also renamed "Nantou County Puli Junior High School" (). On August 1, 1958, Puli Junior High School added a high school department, was renamed "Nantou County Puli Middle School" () and upgraded to a comprehensive junior-senior high school.

Following the recommendations of the provincial council and the requests of local people, the provincial government allocated the Puli Distillery on the Ailan Terrace in June of the same year. The province-owned wine storage warehouse land is about 5.5 hectares as the school site. In 1968, the high school department of Puli Middle School was independently classified as a provincial school from Puli Middle School and established as "Provincial Puli Senior High School" (), from the former directly under the Nantou County Government Education Bureau to directly under the Taiwan Provincial Government Department of Education, and the school administration was established separately from the independent Puli High School. The junior high school of the original Puli Middle School remained in the original school building, which is now the Puli Junior High School.

In July, the provincial government announced that Ye qiang Zhong () would be the first principal, and the school song and motto were formulated. On August 1, Puli High School was officially established. The school was transferred to Puli Middle School, a total of 4 classes of senior 2 and senior 3, to be taken over by Puli High School, and 4 classes of senior high school students were recruited. In September, because the school building was not yet completed, the opening ceremony and classes were held at Ailan Elementary School. In October, the school building project was completed, and the whole school moved into the new school building for classes. Previously, Puli High School was a pure high school. In August 1971, in response to the changes in the industrial and commercial society, an attached vocational business department was established.

As a helicopter parking area to transport the injured, the activity center became a centralized distribution point for disaster relief items. The school's "Water Elf Scout Troop", "Transportation Service Team" and teachers went to the disaster area after the earthquake to provide disaster relief, assist in transportation, and take care of the injured. On August 30, 2000, "Water Elf Scout Troop" and "Transportation Service Team" were selected as the 1999 National Representative of Good People and Good Deeds. The then Vice President Lien Chan also took a helicopter to land at the playground at noon that day to inspect the disaster situation, and wrote in his disaster relief diary: "Seeing Puli The high school boy scouts have been organized to take care of the injured and grab supplies. These children, younger than my daughter, are already saving people one by one, which is touching."

In order to achieve close cooperation between the university and the local area and improve the educational environment in Puli, on December 19, 1998, the then legislator Huang Lang Cai () held a conference called Puli Zhenbao Hotel. A public hearing was held on "Provincial Puli High School Restructuring to Create the First National High School in Nantou County", and invite teachers and staff of NCNU, Puli High School and people from all walks of life were invited to participate.

On January 28, 1999, the following year, the restructuring committee held its first meeting. Most of the attendees agreed with the restructuring. However, not everyone agreed with the restructuring. For example, Wan Chang Jiang (), the then town representative and parent representative who attended the meeting, believed that the restructuring might raise the threshold for admission to higher education. The Supplementary School should be closed, leaving local students with no opportunity to study. Puli High School should be retained, and the NCNU should establish a separate high school which affiliated to NCNU, and threatened to organize an anti-promotion association to boycott. Huang Lang Cai, the chairman of the meeting, believed that establish another high school which affiliated to NCNU is unfeasible, because Due to the difficulty of finding a school site and funding issues, the committee announced that it would adjourn the meeting because it could not reach a consensus. A meeting was held to discuss matters related to the restructuring. Wan Chang Jiang, the parent representative present at the meeting, still opposed the restructuring. In the end, all 37 representatives present voted. The result of the vote was still that only Jiang Wanchang was opposed, and the parents' association also sent the resolution as parents' opinion.
