Lugu Elementary School

Lugu Elementary School was founded in 1910, during the Japanese colonial era, as a branch campus of what is now Zhushan Elementary School. It became independent in 1921 and took its current name in 1968. The school celebrated its centennial around 2017. Its campus was severely damaged in the catastrophic 1999 921 earthquake and was rebuilt with support from the Tzu Chi Foundation, completed in December 2001 in a traditional courtyard (三合院) style. Today Lugu Elementary offers traditional Chinese orchestra and tea-arts (茶藝) club programs, reflecting both its long heritage and its place in Taiwan's premier tea-growing township.

鹿谷國小創立於日治明治43年（1910年），最初為現今竹山國小的分校，於大正10年（1921年）獨立設校，並於民國57年（1968年）定名為現今校名。學校於約2017年慶祝建校百年。原校舍在民國88年（1999年）921大地震中嚴重受損，後由慈濟基金會協助重建，於民國90年（2001年）12月完工，採傳統三合院建築風格。如今學校設有國樂團與茶藝社團，展現學校深厚的歷史底蘊及其身處台灣頂級茶鄉的地方特色。
