A rural school with an unusual claim to fame.
Dehua Elementary School opened in 1962 to serve the rural villages of Dehua, Fenghua, and Jiangnan, an area surrounded by taro fields. The school is best known today for its unicycle team, which has performed alongside the Dajia Mazu pilgrimage procession — directly linking student life to the district's most famous religious event.
德化國小創立於民國51年（1962年），服務德化、豐化、江南等村落的鄉村學童，四周環繞著芋田。學校今日最為人稱道的是獨輪車隊，曾隨大甲媽祖進香隊伍演出，將學生生活與地方最著名的宗教盛事緊密相連。
