A name that bridges two neighborhoods.
Fongjia Junior High was approved for establishment in May 1980 and became a Kaohsiung municipal school after the 2010 city-county merger. Its first intake was just six classes, and the school initially borrowed classrooms from nearby Wujia Elementary School before settling into its own campus. Its name, "鳳甲," is a portmanteau of Fongshan (鳳山) and Wujia (五甲), the two communities it was built to serve.
鳳甲國中於民國69年（1980年）5月奉准設立，2010年高雄縣市合併後改為市立學校。創校首屆僅6班，初期借用鄰近的五甲國小教室上課，後遷入自有校地。校名「鳳甲」取自鳳山與五甲兩地地名的合稱，反映其服務範圍涵蓋這兩個社區。
