Later, the school was renamed as Hunan First United County-owned High School, Changjun State-owned school, Hunan Changjun United High School, Changsha First High School (in 1951), Changsha Second High School and Changjun High School in 1984.

In the fall of 2009, Changjun new campus formally opened. It cost 320 million yuan and was invested by Changsha Municipal Government. The new campus is located in the leading area of “the two-oriented society” called Octagon Area, covering an area of 150 acres.
