A wide school district beside a mountain river.
Pinghe Junior High School was established in August 1968 along the scenic Laxi River, with mountain and water views framing its campus. Unusually for a junior high, its school district spans ten villages across Shoufeng Township's inland farmland, drawing students from a wide catchment area. Indigenous students, primarily Amis with some Truku from certain villages, make up roughly two-thirds of enrollment, making the school a central institution for Shoufeng's Indigenous communities.
平和國中創立於民國57年(1968年)8月,校園緊鄰景致優美的拉庫拉庫溪,坐擁山水景觀。與一般國中不同的是,其學區橫跨壽豐鄉內陸十個村落,招生範圍相當廣闊。原住民學生(主要為阿美族,部分村落亦有太魯閣族)約占全校學生數的三分之二,使該校成為壽豐鄉原住民社區的重要教育機構。
