Gaoyuan Elementary School

Gaoyuan Elementary began in 1915 as a branch campus of Longtanpi Public School, established to serve the Tongluokuan (銅鑼圈) area due to poor transportation access at the time. It became independent in 1920 as "銅鑼圈公學校," under first principal Nagaike Masakazu, before being renamed Gaoyuan (高原) Elementary School in 1968 — making it over a century old. The campus sits amid tea plantations, reflecting the historic Tongluokuan tea-growing area of Longtan, and includes a school history museum ("校史館") documenting its long history, plus two named buildings, "晨曦樓" (Dawn Building) and "耕心樓" (Cultivating-Heart Building). A new school building, described as "old school, new life," was completed and opened in recent years.

高原國小前身為民國4年（1915年）成立的龍潭陂公學校分教場，因當時交通不便而設，專門服務銅鑼圈地區。民國9年（1920年）獨立設校，改稱「銅鑼圈公學校」，首任校長為永池正一，並於民國57年（1968年）改名為「高原國民小學」，校史逾百年。校園座落於茶園之中，反映銅鑼圈地區悠久的種茶歷史，校內並設有記錄百年校史的「校史館」，以及「晨曦樓」與「耕心樓」兩棟命名建築。近年完工啟用的新校舍，被形容為「老校新生」。
