Once "Dawn School," now a historic crossroads.
Taizhong Elementary School began in 1923 as a branch school under the name "Dawn Public School" (曙公學校), becoming independent in 1926. Nearly a century later, the school sits in a remarkably historic corner of Taichung's East District, neighboring Taichung Home Economics and Commercial High School, the NCHU-affiliated agricultural vocational school, the old Taichung Railway Station, the Third Market, and the Zhongxiao Night Market — placing it at the literal center of the city's original commercial and transit core.
臺中國小前身為民國12年（1923年）設立的分校「曙公學校」，民國15年（1926年）獨立設校。近百年後的今天，學校座落於台中東區極具歷史意義的角落，鄰近臺中家商、興大附農、舊台中火車站、第三市場與忠孝夜市，正處於這座城市原始商業與交通核心的中心地帶。
