A late-1990s school with its eyes on the stars.
Ganghe Elementary School began with a preparatory office established in 1997, followed by construction in 1998, and was formally founded on July 1, 1999. Its name combines “港” (harbor, from Xiaogang) and “和” (harmony). The school has been designated a flagship astronomy-education school, with a dedicated on-campus astronomy hall supporting its science curriculum.
港和國小於民國86年（1997年）成立籌備處，1998年動工興建，並於民國88年（1999年）7月1日正式創校。校名結合「港」（取自小港）與「和」（和諧）二字。學校獲指定為天文教育重點學校，並設有校內天文館，支援科學課程教學。
What makes this school worth knowing.

1990年代末創校

Hands-on science learning in the neighborhood school.
Ganghe Elementary's astronomy hall reflects a broader emphasis in Taiwanese elementary education on hands-on science learning, giving Siaogang's students direct access to astronomy education rarely available at an ordinary neighborhood school. See the Kaohsiung county page for more on the region.
