A school born in wartime China.
Chengzheng Elementary School has an unusually layered history. It began in 1939 in Duyun, Guizhou, China, founded by Nationalist general Sun Li-jen and his wife as the "Army 38th Division Officers' and Soldiers' Children's School," serving the children of war orphans and military dependents during wartime. The school relocated to Taiwan in 1948, settling opposite the Fengshan Army Academy, and was reorganized under Kaohsiung County's civilian school system in 1958 before taking its current name in 2010. In 1996, a branch campus, "力行分校," split off to become the independent Guopi Elementary School. Given this layered history, no single "founding year" fully captures the school's story — this page presents the timeline honestly rather than forcing one date.
誠正國小的校史層次豐富且獨特。1939年，該校創立於中國貴州都勻，由國軍將領孫立人將軍與夫人創辦，命名為「陸軍第38師官兵子弟學校」，收容戰時軍眷與孤兒子弟。1948年遷至台灣，落腳於鳳山陸軍官校對面，1958年併入高雄縣民間學制體系，並於2010年更為現名。1996年，其「力行分校」獨立設校，成為今日的過埤國小。鑑於這段層層疊疊的校史，本頁誠實呈現完整時間軸，而非強行指定單一「創校年份」。

📜 A Rare Lineage Among Taiwan's Schools
跨海峽的獨特校史
Few Taiwanese public schools can trace their origin to a refugee school for military dependents founded on the Chinese mainland before the 1949 retreat.
A living link to 1949-era history.
Chengzheng's campus sits within 黃埔新村, a historic military dependents' village opposite the Fengshan Army Academy — physical evidence of the school's unusual origin as a wartime institution for military families that later became a neighborhood elementary school. See the Kaohsiung county page for more on the region.
