Growing fast, and reaching further.

In 1965 it established a special class for physically disabled children, and in 1968 it was designated a "hub school" for the surrounding area. The school shares its name and district with nearby Xinxing Senior High and Xinxing Junior High, together anchoring Kaohsiung's historic Xinxing commercial district.
