"The history of running Huaibei Middle School is an important part of the struggle history of Huaibei Anti-Japanese Base Area". Its school-running goal is to "extensively absorb young intellectuals from all walks of life and train them into cadres on all fronts of the party, government and army." In the four years of the Anti-Japanese War alone, Huaibei Middle School has successively trained and transported more than 2,000 cadres for all fronts of the party, government and army in Huaibei, and at that time "made a historic contribution to the consolidation and development of the anti-Japanese democratic base areas in Huaibei". This large number of students in Huaibei Middle School have stood the test in the long-term revolutionary struggle. Many comrades have held important leadership positions and become middle and senior cadres of our party. Although this is not entirely due to Huaibei Middle School, as many students themselves said, Huaibei Middle School is a first step and a decisive step. These include Jiang Guanghua (former deputy director of the International Liaison Department), General Wang Yunfu (former propaganda minister of the General Logistics Department of the People's Liberation Army), General Tao Shibin (commander of the command brigade of the General Logistics Department of the People's Liberation Army), General Yan (former deputy commander of the Shanghai base of the People's Navy), General Hong Ronghua (deputy chief of staff of the Nanchang Military Region), General Pan Daoyan (former secretary of the Party Committee of the Central Academy of Arts and Crafts), General Tao Shibin (famous film artist) and Sun Shimian. Chen Guo (former deputy director of the Political Department of the Academy of Military Sciences) and Shu Gao (secretary of Fuyang prefectural party committee) all grew up in this revolutionary team. More than forty teachers and students, including Wang Shao, Li Zongbai, Hu Jian, Song Ping and Zhang Keying, fought bloody battles and died heroically. In 2002, the film crew of "The New Fourth Army" presented by CCTV at the 16th National Congress made a special trip to the school to shoot an album.
In April 2009, the school was approved as a "four-star ordinary high school" by the Education Department of Jiangsu Province.
