A name that remembers 1945.
Guangfu Elementary School takes its name from Taiwan's 1945 "Retrocession" (光復), the return of the island to Republic of China rule after Japanese colonial rule ended. The school sits in a farming area of Huwei Town whose economy has long been shaped by sugarcane fields feeding the historic Huwei Sugar Refinery. Today it emphasizes ecological and organic campus development, alongside reading education, native-language instruction, and English learning programs.
光復國小的校名紀念1945年台灣脫離日本殖民統治、回歸中華民國統治的「光復」。學校座落於虎尾鎮的農業地帶，這一帶的經濟長期仰賴供應虎尾糖廠的甘蔗田。如今學校致力推動生態與有機校園發展，並提供閱讀教育、母語教學與英語學習課程。
