A school whose name settled a local dispute.
Planning for Fongxin Senior High began in 1990, and the school was formally established on July 1, 1992. It was originally slated to be named "Wujia Senior High," but local objection — since the site was not actually located in the Wujia community — led to its current name instead. Today, around 80% of its graduates go on to national universities, and it runs bilingual experimental classes for interested students.
鳳新高中的籌設始於民國79年（1990年），並於民國81年（1992年）7月1日正式成立。校名原本預定為「五甲高中」，但因校址其實並不在五甲社區範圍內，居民反對後才改為現名。如今約八成畢業生升入國立大學，學校並開設雙語實驗班。
What makes this school worth knowing.
🗺️ A Name Settled by Local Objection
校名因居民反對而更改
The school was originally slated to be called "Wujia Senior High," but residents objected since the campus site wasn't actually within the Wujia community — leading to today's name.
🎓 Strong National-University Placement
升學表現優異
Roughly 80% of graduates go on to national universities, reflecting the school's academic track record since its 1992 founding.
🗣️ Bilingual Experimental Classes
雙語實驗班
The school offers bilingual experimental classes, part of a broader push among Kaohhsiung senior highs toward English-medium instruction.
A naming dispute that reveals local geography.
The story behind the school's name is a small piece of local geography lore — Fongshan residents distinguish precisely between sub-communities like Wujia and Fongshan proper, and objected when the new school was set to be named after a neighborhood it didn't actually sit within. See the Kaohsiung county page for more on the region.
