A postwar school built by its own community.
Xinzhuang Junior High School traces its founding to 1946, when it opened as Xinzhuang Junior Middle School on a site that had previously housed a Japanese-era elementary school for Japanese settlers. Local residents donated land and funds between 1949 and 1952 to help establish the school on firmer footing. It briefly became a complete secondary school in 1953 before losing its senior-high division in 1968, and today stands as the oldest junior high in Xinzhuang.

A campus layered with history.
Xinzhuang Junior High's founding is woven into the town's postwar civic revival, when residents pooled land and money to rebuild local education after Japanese rule ended. Its campus's earlier use as a school for Japanese settlers is a reminder of Xinzhuang's long, layered history as an old river port turned modern district.
