The oldest school in Shalu.
Shalu Elementary opened in 1907 as Shalu Public School, making it the oldest school in the district — its first classes were held inside a local temple, a common arrangement for early Taiwanese schools. The school marked its 110th anniversary in 2017 and was designated Shalu's central school in 1968, a role that reflects its long-standing place at the heart of the community.
沙鹿國小創立於1907年，最初名為「沙鹿公學校」，是沙鹿地區歷史最悠久的學校，草創時期借用當地廟宇作為教室，這在早期台灣學校中相當常見。學校於2017年舉辦建校110週年慶典，並於1968年被指定為沙鹿地區的中心學校，見證其在地方教育中舉足輕重的地位。
