Step into Altay Mountain City, the northwest border of the motherland, cross the Rainbow Bridge across the Hehe River, and at a conspicuous place at the intersection of the southern section of Jiefang Road, you will see a high door wall decorated with reddish-brown marble, which is inlaid with four vigorous and powerful Chinese characters-District No.2 Middle School. Against the backdrop of the morning glow, these four golden characters shine brightly, representing the teachers and students of the second senior high school in Altay region to extend sincere greetings to you and lead you to inquire and browse.
First of all, the history of the school is worth reviewing.

Under the blue sky, the ideal is the driving force of our struggle, and District No.2 Middle School is the fertile ground for them to realize their beautiful ideals, the cradle of our growth, and our ship sailing for the future.

Verb (abbreviation of verb) education reform
The principal responsibility system under the leadership of the Party Committee is implemented in Regional No.2 Middle School. The leading bodies of the Party Committee and the School Committee stress study, politics and healthy atmosphere, and lead the whole school staff to make contributions with one heart and one mind. The leading group of the school party committee is reasonable in age and discipline structure, full of vitality, honest and self-disciplined, diligent for the people, pragmatic and pioneering, and has played a strong leading core role. The school party Committee was named as an advanced grass-roots party organization by Altay prefectural party Committee. Middle-level cadres in the school compete for posts, and Qi Xin works together to carry out their duties. Starting from 1996, the school began to implement the "school internal reform management plan" and introduced the competition mechanism, which received good results. In order to further strengthen the democratic management of the school and realize the openness of school affairs and government affairs, on the basis of the existing trade unions, the school established a teachers' congress in May 1998, which further mobilized the enthusiasm of the teaching staff to participate in and discuss state affairs. With the deepening of national education reform and development, the leaders of our school are far-sighted, judge the situation and formulate a variety of reform measures. First of all, the grade department was established in 2002, and the leaders of major departments served as the director of the grade department. At the same time, school leaders are responsible for the supervision of a grade department. As a result, the focus of all routine education and teaching work in our school has shifted downwards, which is conducive to the development and implementation of the work. From June 5438 to October 2003, an academic committee was established to be responsible for the teaching and research activities of the school and the training of young teachers. In 2004, a series of policies were promulgated, such as "Regulations on Teachers' Teaching Practice", "Decision on Establishing a Learning School" and "Evaluation Criteria for Excellent Courses". In the meantime, according to the needs of school development, the college entrance examination reward scheme, structural salary payment method, class teacher allowance and quantitative rules for professional title evaluation have been revised successively. In March 2005, our school also launched a series of activities such as "master preparation system", "innovation classroom competition" and "education and teaching classroom". The implementation of these reform measures has greatly promoted the development of education and teaching in our school and improved the enthusiasm of teachers. The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council blew the clarion call for the development of the western region, injecting vitality into frontier education. Since 2003, the school has invited Professor Jian Kang, president of the middle school affiliated to Peking University, Professor Zhang Siming, vice president of the middle school affiliated to Peking University, Professor Lu Shizhen, vice president of China Youth Politics College, and the lecturer group of Beijing No.80 Middle School to give lectures and pass on classics. "Like the strong wind in spring, it blows at night, and I like to see the golden mountain add luster." Taking this as an opportunity, District No.2 Middle School has established its determination to further strengthen the construction of teachers in terms of ideology, style and organization. Based on the reality, on the one hand, the school encourages teachers to actively pursue in-service studies, on the other hand, it makes plans to send teachers to schools in mainland provinces and cities for training. In order to improve students' foreign language level and ability, the school has hired foreign teachers to teach in the school in a planned way, opened up an "English Garden" and built a second classroom activity platform, which is unique in the whole region. The Party Committee of the school lost no time in calling on the teachers of the whole school to establish a sense of research-oriented school, leading teaching by research and promoting teaching by research, and edited and published a special issue of Teaching Research Theory and Information. In particular, the in-depth implementation of the "Blue Project" aimed at bringing the old with the new and pioneering and innovating has prompted more and more young teachers to stand out and grow rapidly. Recently, in response to the call of superiors, the Party Committee of the school has formulated a plan to establish a learning-oriented school, and has paid close attention to organizing national and autonomous regional research projects, school-based research projects and research-based learning for senior one students, and achieved phased results. At present, the second middle school in the whole district has formed a gratifying situation that "the old teachers look after the house, the middle-aged teachers are in charge, the young teachers work hard to get rich, and the old, middle-aged and young people join hands to create brilliance". Regional No.2 Middle School has always attached importance to the construction of campus culture and moral education. With the help of the educational network combining school, society and family, students' sentiment is cultivated and outstanding talents are cultivated through various channels and activities. The school takes "all for the future of the motherland" as its motto, the eight-character school spirit of "unity, forge ahead, modesty and beauty", the eight-character teaching style of "preciseness, dedication, learning and innovation" and the eight-character study style of "perseverance, diligence, thinking and enterprising" as its criterion, and encourages all teachers and students to strive for perfection and progress. The educational ideas in Area 2 are: people-oriented, quality education, quality education; With the goal of enlightening the mind, broadening the horizon, casting moral character and strengthening the body, we will promote every student's physical and mental progress and harmonious development and become a competitive qualified talent in the new century. Since the new century, the school has paid attention to classroom teaching as the main channel and battlefield, at the same time, it has opened up a second classroom, set up interest groups for sports, music and beauty, and arranged a reading class for each class every week to cultivate students' ability and broaden their horizons. School education for all students, adhere to the "no one left behind", care for poor students in an all-round way, while organizing faculty and league members to donate money for education, reduce tuition fees for poor students every semester and award scholarships to outstanding students. On campus, you can see students working hard in various laboratories and computer rooms to show their skills; Dragon and tiger leap into the sports ground to keep fit; Singing and dancing on the stage; Strive to do good deeds and offer love in public welfare activities. Many students are bathed in the rising sun, and the new generation is thriving, with all-round development of morality, intelligence, physique and beauty, and their comprehensive quality is improving day by day.
Sixth, the direction of efforts.
Reform has a new way out, and development is the last word. Inspired by the spirit of the enlarged meeting of Altay prefectural committee members held at the end of 2003, the school party committee concentrated the wisdom of the whole school's faculty and staff, and further defined the goal of the reform and development of Regional No.2 Middle School. The school's philosophy is: keep pace with the times, blaze new trails, support the blue sky of frontier education, and cultivate talents for national rejuvenation. Therefore, there must be a certain direction, two purposes and three goals, namely: the direction of running a school-based on the "three orientations" to ensure the strategic direction of education; Practice "Theory of Three Represents" to ensure the political direction of education: adhere to "three aspects" and ensure the direction of educating people. Mission of running a school-all for students, all for students, all for students. School goal: to build a famous school and cultivate first-class talents. Further improve school conditions, deepen reform and standardize management; Constantly improve the level of existing teachers, steadily improve the quality of education and teaching, and become a veritable model high school at the autonomous region level. Take the opportunity of establishing a model high school in the autonomous region, learn from each other's strong points and strive to comprehensively improve the conditions for running schools, the level of teachers and the quality of education and teaching; Implement scientific management, promote quality education, and strive to meet the acceptance standards of demonstration high schools in the autonomous region.
