Fenglin Elementary School

Fenglin Elementary School traces its founding to April 20, 1918, during the Japanese colonial era (Taisho 7), when it opened as “台南廳大林蒲公學校,” a public school under what was then Tainan Prefecture, serving the fishing village of Dalinpu (大林蒲). It was renamed “鳳林國民學校” in 1951, the same year it spun off its own branch school, Fengming (鳳鳴分校). In 1962, Fenglin became the first school in Kaohsiung to run a nutritious school-lunch program. It later formed sister-school relationships with a school in Japan (1983) and, fittingly, with a same-named Fenglin Elementary School in Hualien County (2008). The school celebrated its full 100th anniversary in November 2017. Since then, Fenglin's story has become closely tied to the ongoing Dalinpu village relocation — the community's residents are being resettled as part of Kaohsiung's Nanxing (南星) plan to expand the city's port and steel industry, with the original village site expected to eventually become industrial land. This page reflects the research available at the time of writing; we do not assert a specific current operating status for the school beyond what has been documented, given the relocation planning is ongoing.

鳳林國小創校可追溯至1918年（日治大正7年）4月20日，最初為隸屬台南廳的「大林蒲公學校」，服務大林蒲漁村的學童。1951年（民國40年）改稱「鳳林國民學校」，同年並分出鳳鳴分校。1962年，鳳林國小成為高雄市第一所推行營養午餐的學校。其後陸續與日本一所學校締結姊妹校（1983年），並與花蓮縣同名的鳳林國小締結姊妹校（2008年），別具巧思。學校於2017年11月舉辦建校滿百週年慶典。此後，鳳林國小的故事與大林蒲遷村計畫緊密相連——當地居民正因高雄「南星計畫」（港區與臨海工業區擴建）而面臨遷村安置，原址未來預計將轉為工業用地。本頁內容僅根據撰寫當下可查得之資料呈現；由於遷村規劃仍在進行中，我們不對學校目前確切的營運狀態做出超出既有紀錄的斷言。
