A junior high steeped in performance traditions.
Xingang Junior High traces its educational lineage back to 1898, making Xingang home to one of Chiayi County's oldest school histories, though the junior high in its present form was organized later in the postwar period. Today the school is best known for its arts-talent programs: its Chinese orchestra and visual arts classes have won numerous competitions, and its recorder ensemble captured five consecutive county championships before representing Chiayi County at the national level. The school's football team has also claimed a national championship, and its lion dance team won a top "special excellence" award in 2025.
新港國中的教育淵源可追溯至1898年，是嘉義縣歷史最悠久的學校系統之一，不過現今形式的國中則於戰後時期才正式設立。學校以藝術才能班聞名，國樂班與美術班屢獲競賽佳績，直笛團更曾連續五年蟬聯縣賽冠軍，並代表嘉義縣參加全國賽。此外，足球隊曾榮獲全國冠軍，獅陣隊也在2025年獲得縣賽特優成績。

Echoes of the Matsu pilgrimage.
Xingang Township is home to Fengtian Temple (奉天宮) and its famous Baan-kau (刈火) Matsu pilgrimage, one of Taiwan's most celebrated folk-religious festivals. Xingang Junior High's strong folk-performance traditions — its lion dance team and music programs — directly echo the temple-centered festival culture that defines the township.
