Dongmen Elementary School

Dongmen Elementary was founded on October 1, 1897, at the old Mingzhi Academy site, originally established as a school for the children of Japanese settlers. It was renamed Hsinchu Ordinary Higher Elementary School in 1902 and relocated in 1914 to its present site just outside the city's East Gate — the landmark from which the school takes its name. It became Hsinchu County Hsinchu City Public Dongmen School in 1950, and took its current name, Hsinchu City Dongmen Elementary School, in 1982. With over 125 years of history, it stands among Hsinchu's oldest "century schools" (百年老校).

東門國小創校於明治30年（1897年）10月1日，最初設於明志書院舊址，原為日籍移民子弟而設立的學校。1902年改名為「新竹尋常高等小學校」，並於1914年遷至現址——鄰近新竹東門的所在地，也是校名的由來。1950年改為「新竹縣新竹市立東門國校」，1982年再改為現名「新竹市東門國民小學」。學校歷史超過125年，是新竹市的「百年老校」之一。
