From bamboo-roofed classrooms to today's campus.
Xinlong Elementary was founded in 1943, during the final years of the Japanese colonial era. Its original school buildings were entirely wooden construction with bamboo-strip roofing, typical of rural schools of the period. The school has been renamed multiple times through subsequent political transitions, and today serves the predominantly Hakka farming communities of Xinlong and Shenglong villages.
新隆國小創立於民國32年（1943年），正值日治時期末期。創校初期的校舍為全木造建築，屋頂以竹片鋪設，是當時鄉村學校的典型樣貌。學校歷經政權更迭而數次更名，如今持續服務以客家人為主的新隆村與盛隆村農村社區。
