Independent since Taiwan's compulsory-education era.
Xinyuan Junior High originated as a branch of Donggang Junior High School before becoming an independent, separately named school in 1968, alongside the nationwide rollout of nine-year compulsory education. The school held its first athletic meet in 1971, an early milestone in its history as an independent institution. Located on the alluvial plain formed where the Gaoping River and Donggang River meet the sea, it serves the farming families of Xinyuan Township, an area known for rice, banana, and fruit cultivation as well as fish and shrimp aquaculture.
新園國中的前身為東港國中分校，1968年（民國57年）隨九年國民義務教育的推行正式獨立設校並定名。學校於1971年（民國60年）舉辦第一屆運動會，是其獨立設校後的重要里程碑。學校位於高屏溪與東港溪出海口沖積而成的平原上，服務新園鄉的農業家庭——這裡以稻米、香蕉與果樹栽培聞名，也從事魚蝦養殖。
