Zhuguang Junior High School

Zhuguang Junior High was officially established on January 1, 2005, admitting its first students that August — the third junior high founded in North District at the time. In its earliest days, the school had no facilities of its own and had to borrow a neighboring elementary school's auditorium for classes. It now sits on the former site of the ROC Air Force's "忠勇營區" base, in a neighborhood along Kaya Creek historically known as "米粉寮" (rice-noodle village) — the birthplace of Hsinchu's famous rice noodle industry. The school has since earned national recognition, including Teaching Excellence Awards in 2010 and 2013.

竹光國中於民國94年（2005年）1月1日正式成立，同年8月招收首屆學生，是當時北區第三所設立的國中。創校初期校舍尚未完工，曾借用鄰近國小的禮堂上課。校址位於前空軍「忠勇營區」舊址，鄰近客雅溪畔，此地舊稱「米粉寮」，正是新竹米粉產業的發源地。學校成立以來屢獲肯定，包括民國99年（2010年）與102年（2013年）教學卓越獎。
