From a branch campus to a Science Park neighbor.
Guandong Elementary began on August 1, 1957 as a branch campus of Longshan National School, becoming a fully independent school one year later, on August 1, 1958. Its first principal, Liu De-ming, was appointed in February 1959. In 1961, an overseas Chinese community member, Zheng Mao-qi, based in Japan, donated a flag platform and reviewing stand to the school. A new school gate was completed in 1962, followed by additional science classrooms in 1963. With nearly 62 years of history, the school today sits near TSMC Fab 12, National Chiao Tung University, and National Tsing Hua University, at the heart of the Science Park corridor.
