Rebuilt after the 921 earthquake.
Jungong Elementary began in 1920 as Jungongliao Public School during the Japanese colonial era, taking its current name in 1969. The school's history took a dramatic turn in 1999, when the devastating 921 earthquake completely destroyed its campus; students were relocated temporarily while a new campus was built, reopening in 2001. Remarkably, a Japanese-era teacher's dormitory on the grounds survived and has since been registered as a Taichung historic building.
軍功國小創立於1920年（日治時期），最初名為軍功寮公學校，1969年改為現今校名。1999年，921大地震重創校園、幾乎全毀，學生一度遷校暫時上課，直到2001年新校舍重建完成後才復校。校內一棟日治時期教師宿舍奇蹟般倖存下來，如今已登錄為臺中市歷史建築。

🏫 A Century Under Three Names
近百年校名沿革
From its 1920 founding as Jungongliao Public School to its current name adopted in 1969, the school's naming history spans the colonial era through to modern Taichung.
A physical record of two eras.
The surviving Japanese-era teacher's dormitory and the school's dramatic 921-earthquake rebuilding make it a physical record of both Beitun's colonial past and Taiwan's most significant modern natural disaster. See the Taichung county page for more on the region.
