A school built while the campus was still going up.
Jinsha Junior High School was founded in 1965 as "Jin-Sha Junior Vocational School." Its first principal, Lu Xi-ming, had to borrow classrooms from neighboring Jinsha Elementary School while the new campus was still under construction, which was completed on December 1, 1965. Within two years the school converted from a vocational format to a standard junior high, taking its current name in 1967. Today it guides students under the motto "Sincerity, Simplicity, Fairness, Determination."
金沙國中創立於民國54年（1965年），初名「金沙初級職業學校」。首任校長盧錫明在新校舍興建期間，向鄰近的金沙國小借用教室上課，校舍於1965年12月1日完工。兩年內，學校由職業學校形制轉為一般國中，並於民國56年（1967年）更為現名。校訓為「誠、樸、公、毅」。

A living link across the strait.
Jinsha Junior High's sister-school relationship with Xiamen Dajie Middle School in mainland China is a direct expression of Kinmen's unusual geography — the island sits only a few kilometers from Xiamen, far closer to the mainland than to Taiwan itself. See the Kinmen county page for more on the region.
