Rebuilt after disaster, renowned for its art program.
Zhanghe Elementary was founded on April 26, 1960 as a branch of Nantou Elementary School, becoming independent in 1961 and taking its current name in 1968. The 1999 921 earthquake destroyed the campus, and it was rebuilt with support from the Tzu Chi Foundation — Master Cheng Yen herself attended the reconstruction groundbreaking ceremony in 2000. Today the school is known for a specialized visual-arts talent program that has become a defining feature of its identity.
漳和國小創立於民國49年（1960年）4月26日，原為南投國小分校，民國50年（1961年）獨立設校，民國57年（1968年）更為現名。民國88年（1999年）921大地震摧毀校舍，後由慈濟基金會援建重建，證嚴法師更親自出席2000年的重建動土典禮。如今學校以美術資優班聞名，成為學校鮮明的特色標誌。
