A name that outlasted the town's own.
Xingang Junior High serves as the sole public junior high school for Chenggong Town. Its name is a quiet piece of local history: Chenggong was known as Xingang, meaning "New Harbor," until the town itself was officially renamed Chenggong in 1946 — yet the school has kept the older name ever since, tying today's students to the harbor town's earlier identity.
新港國中是成功鎮唯一的公立國中。它的校名裡藏著一段在地歷史：成功鎮舊稱「新港」，直到民國35年（1946年）才正式更名為成功鎮，但學校始終沿用舊名，讓今天的學生與這座港鎮更早以前的身分產生連結。

⚓ A Name That Remembers the Harbor
留住新港之名
Even after the town was renamed Chenggong in 1946, the school kept the name "Xingang" (New Harbor) — a living link to the fishing port's earlier identity and one of the clearest place-name stories along this coast.

港邊小鎮的國中生活
Students here grow up alongside one of the east coast's largest fishing harbors, completed in 1932, giving the school a distinctly maritime backdrop to daily life.
Chenggong, formerly Xingang.
The school's name preserves Xingang (新港, "New Harbor"), the town's identity before its 1946 renaming to Chenggong. The harbor itself, completed in 1932, remains one of the largest fishing ports on Taiwan's east coast, and the town is home to a substantial Indigenous Amis population with deep ties to the sea.
