From branch campus to independent school.
Huilai Elementary School was established in September 1961 as a branch of Zhongxi Elementary School, becoming fully independent in September 1964. Its founding reflects Huwei's 1960s population growth, part of the broader sugar-boom era that reshaped the township. The school's namesake Huilai area has long been tied to the surrounding sugarcane farmland.
