Guiren's centennial anchor school.
Guiren Elementary was founded in 1920, during the Japanese colonial era, making it the oldest continuously operating school in the district — it has already passed its 100th anniversary. The campus is shaded by a roughly 20-year-old cluster of royal palm trees and 50-year-old mahogany trees, and the school published a "百年校慶特刊" (centennial commemorative volume) documenting its long history for the occasion.
歸仁國小創校於大正9年（1920年）日治時期，是歸仁區歷史最悠久且持續辦學至今的學校，已跨越百年校慶。校園內有約20年樹齡的大王椰子樹群與50年樹齡的桃花心木，學校並曾出版「百年校慶特刊」，記錄這段悠久校史。
