The mother school of a district's education system.
Sanchong Elementary School opened on April 1, 1922, under Japanese colonial rule as "Erchongpu Public School Sanchongpu Branch Classroom" (二重埔公學校三重埔分教場). After Taiwan's retrocession in 1945 it was renamed Sanchong National School, and it took its present name in 1968. Over the course of the 20th century, the school spun off four other Sanchong elementary schools — Sanguang in 1951, Zhengyi in 1958, Houde in 1963, and Guangrong in 1975 — earning its reputation as the district's founding "mother school." Some of its older buildings were demolished in 1996 and again in 2012 after chloride-contamination ("sea sand" concrete) findings.
三重國小創立於1922年（大正11年）4月1日，日治時期名為「二重埔公學校三重埔分教場」。民國34年（1945年）台灣光復後改名「三重國民學校」，民國57年（1968年）改為現名。二十世紀期間，學校陸續分設出三重地區其他四所國小——三光國小（1951年）、正義國小（1958年）、厚德國小（1963年）、光榮國小（1975年）——因此被視為三重教育體系的「母校」。部分老舊校舍因發現含氯量過高的「海砂屋」問題，分別於民國85年（1996年）及民國101年（2012年）拆除重建。
What makes this school worth knowing.

🏗️ Rebuilt Twice for Safety
兩度拆除重建
Older buildings were demolished in 1996 and 2012 after chloride-contamination findings, part of a broader effort across Taiwan to address "sea sand" concrete.
Mapping a century of growth.
As Sanchong's original public elementary school dating to the Japanese colonial era, its repeated subdivisions map directly onto the district's explosive 20th-century population growth from farmland into a dense Taipei suburb. See the New Taipei county page for more on the region.
