In 1982, it became a key secondary school of Sichuan Province. In 1984, the name was changed back to "Chongqing Qinghua Middle School". At the same time, Deng Yingchao inscribed the name of the school.

In February 1999, the school was named as the first batch of Key Secondary Schools of Chongqing by the Chongqing Government.
