Beside the wetlands, beneath a rainbow.
Gaomei Elementary traces its roots to 1919, becoming fully independent in 1941. The school sits beside the mouth of the Dajia River, next to the famous Gaomei Wetlands — a 1,500-hectare tidal flat and bird sanctuary that draws visitors from across Taiwan. In recent years, the school's rainbow-painted running track has become a local landmark in its own right, popular as a photo spot on social media.
高美國小創校可追溯至1919年,於民國30年(1941年)正式獨立設校。學校坐落於大甲溪出海口旁,緊鄰著名的高美濕地——一片佔地1,500公頃、吸引全台遊客造訪的潮間帶與候鳥棲息地。近年來,學校彩虹色的跑道也成為當地熱門的打卡地標。
