A joyful-community name with seven decades of history.
Lequn Elementary School was founded in 1953. Its name, "樂群" ("joyful community" or "sociable and cooperative"), reflects a naming trend common to mid-1950s Taiwanese schools that emphasized civic virtue. In 1977, Lequn lent its classrooms to the first students of the newly founded Guanghua Junior High School before that school's own campus was ready.
樂群國小創立於民國42年（1953年）。校名「樂群」呼應了1950年代中期台灣學校常見、強調公民道德的命名風氣。民國66年（1977年），樂群國小曾借出教室，協助剛成立的光華國中首屆學生上課，直到該校自有校舍完工。
