Shepi Elementary School

Shepi Elementary School was founded on April 27, 1910, during the Japanese colonial era, as a branch of Akou Public School (阿猴公學校社皮分校), initially a four-year school. It became a full six-year school and gained independence as “Shepi Public School” in 1915. After Taiwan's 1945 retrocession, it was renamed Shepi National School under its first post-war principal, Wu Tianhua, and became Pingtung County Wandan Township Shepi Elementary School in 1968 under the nine-year compulsory education reform. Its earliest buildings were simple bamboo-and-thatch construction, gradually rebuilt in brick and tile from 1924 onward, with the campus reconstructed multiple times since — including an activity center, administration building, multi-purpose court, front courtyard, and the “Huayu Building.” With over 111 years of history, Shepi is among the older schools in the Wandan area.

社皮國小創立於明治43年（1910年）4月27日日治時期，最初為「阿猴公學校社皮分校」，是四年制學校。民國4年（1915年）改制為六年制並獨立設校，稱「社皮公學校」。台灣光復後改稱社皮國民學校，首任戰後校長為吳天化，並於民國57年（1968年）九年國教改制時定名為屏東縣萬丹鄉社皮國民小學。早期校舍為竹筒仔厝、茅草屋頂，自民國13年（1924年）起逐步改建為磚瓦建築，此後校園歷經多次重建，包括活動中心、行政大樓、多功能球場、前庭廣場與「華育樓」等。逾111年校史，是萬丹地區歷史最悠久的學校之一。
