The school was originally located in Gordon Road (now Hubei Road) and was named "Tianjin Public School". 1928, due to the increasing number of students, Zhuang Lefeng proposed to the British Concession Ministry of Industry to expand the land, found a 53-mu depression on the banks of the Qiangzi River as the school site, and built a well-equipped school combining Chinese and Western culture. Including primary schools, male middle schools, female middle schools, gymnasiums, libraries, etc. Instruments such as physics, chemistry and biology are all purchased from abroad. 1935, Zhao Tianlin, former president of Beiyang University, became the president of Tianjin Public School, and was renamed Hua Yao School, which means "Glory to China". 1952 was renamed Tianjin No.16 Middle School. 1988 changed its name today.
Hua Yao Middle School has trained a large number of outstanding talents for the country and contributed to the development of education in China for more than 70 years. Among them, 14 became academicians of China Academy of Sciences and China Academy of Engineering. Academician Yu Min, an expert in rocket system control, Liang, the first Chinese female mayor in American history, Nie Bichu, former vice minister of foreign affairs and former mayor of Tianjin, and Hou, president of Nankai University, all came from this school. Hua Yao Middle School has become a model middle school with perfect modern teaching facilities, abundant teachers and distinctive school-running characteristics. In 2002, on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of Hua Yao Middle School, Li Ruihuan, Chairman of Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, wrote an inscription for the celebration of Hua Yao Middle School: "Facing the Times and Glorifying China"; Qian Weichang, Vice Chairman of Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, wrote an inscription: "Diligent, frugal and honest, showing us China".

Hua Yao Road starts from Yingkou Road in the northwest and ends at Nanjing Road in the southeast, with a total length of 78 meters. Yaohuali is located in the southwest of the north section of Shanxi Road, starting from Shanxi Road in the east and reaching Hua Yao Road in the southwest, with a total length of146m. It is generally believed that the names of Hua Yao Road and Hua Yao Lane both come from Hua Yao Middle School. Actually, it's not.
