From a family ancestral hall to a rebuilt campus.
Shigang Elementary School traces its beginnings to 1899, when classes were first held in the Lin family ancestral hall, making it one of the oldest schools in the Dajia River valley. The school's campus was totally destroyed in the catastrophic 921 earthquake of 1999. It was rebuilt with sponsorship from the Tzu Chi Foundation and reopened in 2001, and today its post-earthquake reconstruction stands at the center of Shigang's modern identity as an earthquake-recovery and eco-tourism community.
石岡國小創校可追溯至1899年，最初借用林氏宗祠上課，是大甲溪流域歷史最悠久的學校之一。學校校舍在1999年921大地震中全毀，後獲慈濟基金會援助重建，於2001年重新啟用。如今，這段震後重建的歷程，正是石岡作為地震重建與生態旅遊社區現代身分認同的核心。
