Longxiang Government High School was established in 1970. It was formerly an industrial school, which only accepted boys. Since September 2010, it has been converted to a co-educational school and is now a full-time government school.
The school has cultivated many well-known alumni over the years, including the Hong Kong Polytechnic University Vice President (Research and Innovation) Zhao Ruheng, who graduated from the school in 1985, and Xia Liguang, the former vice president of Asia Television, is known as the "Uncle Airport". Member Chen Zhenzhe is also an alumnus of the school.

Cai Guowei, son of Mark Six: It's a pity that Long Xiang was killed
"Son of Mark Six" Cai Guowei, an alumnus who graduated in the 1990s, said in a telephone interview with "Hong Kong 01" that today he learned in the news that his alma mater was about to close. Although he has graduated for many years, most of the teachers he knew have retired, but he was told to leave. The alma mater of more than half a century is about to be killed, and I feel helpless and sad. "It's so unhappy. I have spent 5 years in the light realm. I have spent the 50th anniversary. It is a pity that the school has been killed in history."
Cai Guowei recalled that Longxiang was still an "industrial middle school" when he was studying. It was a special experience for students to have access to "metalworking and carpentry". At that time, they felt regretful when they learned that the school was transformed into a general middle school. .
He hopes that before the school is closed, he can let the old students go back to school and take pictures.
