Gongguan's founding school, still growing after 120 years.
Gongguan Elementary opened in 1901 as "Gongguan Public School," making it the oldest school in the township that shares its name. It celebrated its 120th anniversary in 2021 with a new school building, and today serves about 874 students — the largest enrollment of any school in Gongguan. The school fields a strong Chinese orchestra and music-class program, along with bridge, track-and-field, and basketball teams, and its new campus deliberately echoes the traditional Hakka sanheyuan (three-sided courtyard) architecture of the region.
公館國小創立於明治34年（1901年），初名「公館公學校」，是以公館鄉命名的最早學校。民國110年（2021年）欣逢創校120週年，並落成新校舍，目前全校約874名學生，為公館鄉規模最大的學校。學校擁有實力堅強的國樂團與音樂班，並設有橋藝、田徑、籃球等隊伍，新校舍更刻意呼應在地客家三合院的傳統建築風格。
