A century of schooling in Magongcuo.
Maguang Elementary was founded in 1921 as Tainan Prefecture Magongcuo Public School, under the Japanese colonial-era administrative naming of the time. The school celebrated its 100th anniversary on May 1, 2021, and marked the milestone further by opening an attached kindergarten that same year — a century-long commitment to educating the children of this farming community.
