A gateway school with a championship past.
Dacheng Elementary opened on September 1, 1960, under founding principal Huang Chao-tang, at the entrance to the Puli basin. Just two years later, in 1962, its table tennis team captured the national championship — a remarkable early achievement for a young school. The school graduated its first class of 108 students in 1963 and has continued serving the children of Puli ever since.
大成國小創校於民國49年（1960年）9月1日，首任校長為黃朝棟，校址位於埔里盆地入口地帶。創校僅兩年後的1962年，學校桌球隊便勇奪全國冠軍，寫下建校初期的亮眼紀錄。1963年，學校送出首屆108名畢業生，自此持續培育埔里學子至今。
