Dongxin Junior High School

Dongxin Junior High opened its doors in 1968, one year after its 1967 founding, as Dongshi's population of Hakka farming and orchard families grew through the 1960s and the town needed more secondary-school capacity. It was one of three junior high schools built in Dongshi during this period. In recent years, the school has developed a STEM and robotics focus, including hosting a Foxconn-sponsored AI robot workshop for its eighth-grade students.

東新國民中學於民國56年（1967年）創校，隔年（1968年）正式開學，正值東勢客家農家與果園子弟人口在1960年代持續增長、地方亟需更多國中就學名額之際，是當時東勢新建的三所國中之一。近年來，學校發展出STEM與機器人教育特色，並曾為八年級學生舉辦由鴻海贊助的AI機器人工作坊。
