A mountain-foot school with a global motto.
Donghe Elementary began in 1950 as a branch classroom serving the children of Dongxing Village in Tianzhong Township. It gained independent status on August 1, 1961, becoming Donghe National Elementary School in its own right. Sitting at the foot of a mountain on the edge of Tianzhong, the school today carries a motto that captures its outlook: standing rooted in its rural setting while keeping an eye on the wider world.
東和國小創校於民國39年(1950年),最初是田中鎮東興里的分教場(分班),於民國50年8月1日(1961年)獨立設校,正式定名為東和國民小學。學校座落於田中鎮邊緣的山腳下,校訓「立足山腳下,胸懷全世界」正呼應了這所學校紮根鄉土、放眼世界的精神。

🌱 From Branch Class to Independent School
從分班到獨立設校
Founded in 1950 as a branch classroom in Dongxing Village, the school grew steadily over a decade before becoming fully independent in 1961 — a milestone still marked in its history today.
A rural corner of Tianzhong Township.
Donghe Elementary's name and motto reflect its rural setting at the foot of the mountain on the edge of Tianzhong Township 田中鎮 — a farming community in central Changhua County that has long balanced local rootedness with a broader outlook. See the Changhua county page for more on the region.
