Built by community funding, one classroom at a time.
Dongxing Elementary School traces its roots to a community-funded branch classroom established in Luocuo Village in 1958. It was formally established as an independent school in September 1960 under founding principal Song Liben, opening with 10 classes and 565 students — a striking scale for a village-founded school.
東興國小的前身可追溯至1958年於羅厝村由社區集資設立的分教室。1960年9月，學校在創校校長宋立本帶領下正式獨立設校，首屆招收10班、565名學生，對一所由村莊集資而生的學校而言規模相當可觀。
