Over a century in He-Ping Village.
He-Ping Elementary was established on April 13, 1917, at the He-Zhong branch site, making it one of the oldest schools in Xiulin Township — its founding predates Taiwan's 1945 retrocession by nearly three decades. The school marked its 100th anniversary with a commemorative archive project, and today upholds the motto "Sincerity, Kindness, Beauty, Hope" while continuing to serve the Truku Indigenous community of He-Ping Village.
和平國小創立於1917年（大正6年）4月13日，最初設於和中分教場，是秀林鄉歷史最悠久的學校之一——其創校甚至早於1945年台灣光復近三十年。學校曾舉辦建校百年紀念活動並整理校史檔案，秉持「誠、愛、美、望」的校訓，持續服務和平村的太魯閣族部落。
