From a small branch to a neighborhood school.
Chenguang Elementary began life in 1955 as the "Houogou Branch" of Beichen Elementary School, serving families in the northern reaches of Beigang Town. It became an independent school in 1959, taking the name Chenguang National School, and has served the community ever since. Today the school rounds out its academic program with after-school clubs, including table tennis and classical guitar.
辰光國小的前身，是民國44年（1955年）設立的北辰國小「後厝分班」，服務北港鎮北側的居民。民國48年（1959年）獨立設校，定名為辰光國民學校，持續服務地方至今。學校在正規課程之外，另開設桌球、古典吉他等課後社團，充實學生的學習生活。

🌱 A School Born From a Branch Campus
從分班到獨立設校
Chenguang's path from a 1955 branch classroom to full independence in 1959 reflects the steady growth of education in Beigang's outlying neighborhoods.
In the shadow of the Mazu pilgrimage.
Chenguang Elementary sits in Beigang Town, one of Taiwan's most important centers of Mazu (媽祖) worship, home to the historic Chaotian Temple (朝天宮) and its centuries-old annual pilgrimage. Students grow up surrounded by this deep-rooted temple culture, with incense-burning processions, folk performances, and festival crowds a familiar part of the town's yearly calendar. See the Yunlin county page for more on the region.
