Rebuilt twice, and still standing.
Yuemei Elementary opened in 1914 as a two-year "Aboriginal Children's Public School," but its original campus was washed away by floods not once but twice, in 1917 and 1922, forcing relocation each time. It became a full six-year school in 1941 and took its current name in 1968. Notably, today's Shoufeng Elementary School was once Yuemei's branch campus before splitting off in 1917 to become independent — making Yuemei one of the parent institutions of Shoufeng Township's school network.
月眉國小創立於民國3年（1914年），初為二年制的「蕃人子弟公學校」，但原始校舍先後於1917年與1922年兩度遭洪水沖毀，每次都必須遷校重建。民國30年（1941年）改制為六年制學校，並於民國57年（1968年）確立現名。值得一提的是，今日的壽豐國小曾是月眉國小的分校，於1917年獨立設校——使月眉國小成為壽豐鄉學校體系的源頭之一。

壽豐國小的源頭
