Xinjie Elementary School

Xinjie Elementary traces its history to 1934, when it began as a satellite classroom of Zhongli Elementary School, becoming independent in April 1936 as "Zhongli No. 2 Public School." In April 1941, it was renamed "Shirakawa Elementary School" (白川國民學校) after Prince Kitashirakawa-no-miya Yoshihisa, a Japanese imperial prince who had camped in the area during Japan's 1895 military takeover of Taiwan. After Taiwan's retrocession, the school was renamed again, eventually settling on "Xinjie" in 1950 and taking its current administrative name after Taoyuan's 2014 city upgrade. Over 90 years old, Xinjie functions as the historic "mother school" of the district — Neili, Xinyi, and Zhongfu elementary schools all originally split off from it.

新街國小溯源於民國23年（1934年）中壢公學校的分教場，民國25年（1936年）4月獨立設校，稱「中壢第二公學校」。昭和16年（1941年）4月，因日本皇族北白川宮能久親王曾於1895年日軍接收台灣期間駐紮於此地，學校因而改名為「白川國民學校」。台灣光復後校名幾經更迭，民國39年（1950年）10月25日定名「新街」，2014年桃園升格直轄市後改為現名。建校已逾90年，是中壢地區的歷史「母校」——內壢、信義、忠福等國小皆由此校分出。
