Guogou Elementary School

Guogou Elementary School was founded on March 31, 1920, during the Japanese colonial era, as "Guogou Public School," at Tainan County Dongshi Township Budai Village Guogou No. 766. It was renamed Guogou National School (1933), Tainan County Budai Township No. 3 National School (1946), Tainan County Budai Township Guogou National School (1947), reorganized under Chiayi County in 1950, and became Guogou National Elementary School in 1968. The school celebrated its 97th anniversary in 2017, consistent with its 1920 founding, and survived severe damage from a 1935 typhoon. In 1940 it established a branch, Guishe Branch, which became an independent school — today's Guilin Elementary — in 1945, showing its role as an educational "parent" to other Budai-area schools. The school runs strong arts programs alongside international education and English-language instruction.

過溝國小創立於大正9年（1920年）3月31日日治時期，初名「過溝公學校」，校址位於台南縣東石鄉布袋庄過溝七六六番地。歷經多次更名：過溝國民學校（1933年）、台南縣布袋鄉第三國民學校（1946年）、台南縣布袋鄉過溝國民學校（1947年），民國39年（1950年）改隸嘉義縣，並於民國57年（1968年）定名為過溝國民小學。學校於2017年舉辦九十七週年校慶，與1920年創校紀錄相符，並曾於1935年遭受颱風重創。民國29年（1940年）設立貴舍分校，於民國34年（1945年）獨立設校，即今日的貴林國小，展現本校作為布袋地區「母校」的角色。學校美術繪畫等藝術項目表現活躍，並推動國際教育及英語課程。
