From two borrowed classrooms to a township anchor.
Xincheng Junior High began in 1964 as a branch of Ji'an Junior High, opening with only about 80 students who borrowed two classrooms from nearby Beipu Elementary School. It became an independent school in 1968. Since then, the school has built a strong indigenous-language program, offering certification courses in both Amis and Truku — a reflection of the mixed indigenous communities living around the Taroko Gorge gateway that Xincheng Township occupies.
新城國中於1964年以吉安國中分校名義成立，創校初期僅約80名學生，借用鄰近北埔國小的兩間教室上課。1968年正式獨立設校。此後，學校致力發展原住民族語教育，開設阿美族語與太魯閣族語認證課程——反映出新城鄉作為太魯閣峽谷門戶地帶多元原住民族群共居的特色。
