From a postwar private school to a public junior high.
Gongguan Junior High traces its lineage back to 1946, when it began as the private "Xinmin Junior Middle School" (新民初級中學) shortly after the end of World War II. The school became county-run in 1961, and was reorganized as a national junior high school in 1968. This long institutional history makes Gongguan one of Miaoli County's older secondary schools, with roots reaching back to the earliest years of postwar Taiwan.
公館國中校史可追溯至1946年，戰爭結束不久後以私立「新民初級中學」創校。1961年改為縣立，1968年再改制為國立（後為縣立）國民中學。這段悠久的辦學歷程，使公館國中成為苗栗縣歷史較為悠久的中學之一，校史根源可上溯至戰後台灣最初期的階段。
