A century of names, one enduring school.
Shangping Elementary was founded in 1917, during the Japanese colonial era, as a branch campus of Minong Public School called "瀰濃公學校崁頂分校." It was renamed Yuemei Public School in 1939, and again renamed Shangping National School in 1959. Its winding lineage across the Japanese-colonial-to-ROC transition traces the historical administrative overlap between Meinong, a major Hakka town, and Shanlin's smaller settlements.
上平國小創立於1917年（民國6年）日治時期，最初為瀰濃公學校崁頂分校。1939年更名為月眉公學校，1959年再度更名為上平國民學校。學校歷經數次更名，橫跨日治到民國時期，反映出美濃這個客家大鎮與杉林小型聚落間的歷史行政淵源。
