A steady presence in farming country.
Daxing Elementary opened in 1957 and took its current name in 1968. Located in a rural farming area of Guangfu Township, the school has long served as more than a place of learning: when Typhoon Toraji struck in 2001, Daxing Elementary served as a community shelter and anchor for the surrounding area's recovery, a role that speaks to how central small rural schools remain to Taiwanese township life.
大興國小創立於民國46年（1957年），民國57年（1968年）定名為現名，位於光復鄉的農業地帶。學校在地方社區中扮演的角色不僅止於教育——民國90年（2001年）桃芝颱風來襲時，大興國小曾作為社區避難與災後重建的據點，體現了台灣鄉村小學在地方生活中的核心地位。
