Ruimei Elementary School

Ruimei Elementary dates back to 1905 under Japanese rule, cited as 115 years old in a 2020 source — making it one of the oldest schools in Ruisui Township. Its most distinctive feature is a nationally-recognized "most beautiful campus tree," a century-old black pine reportedly planted by the school's very first generation of students and teachers, which still stands on campus today as a living link to the school's founding. The school's international profile grew further when French artist "Monsieur Julien" visited as part of a global mural and painting project, and in 2021 it added a creative playground for younger students.

瑞美國小校史可追溯至明治38年（1905年），2020年資料顯示已有115年歷史，是瑞穗鄉歷史最悠久的學校之一。學校最引以為傲的特色，是一棵獲全國肯定的「最美校樹」——一棵據傳由創校第一屆師生親手栽種的百年黑松，至今仍矗立校園中，成為連結創校歷史的活見證。學校的國際知名度也因法國藝術家「朱利安先生」造訪並參與全球壁畫計畫而提升，並於民國110年（2021年）增設創意遊戲場，供低年級學童使用。
