From one of two original schools to an international outlook.
Guoguang Elementary began in 1951 as a branch of Datong Elementary School and became independent in 1953. Along with Heping Elementary, it was one of only two elementary schools originally serving South District before the area's population boom of the 1980s through 2000s. More than 70 years on, the school runs a Taiwan-Malaysia cultural exchange program and fields a soft-tennis team with an international competition record.
國光國民小學於民國40年（1951年）以大同國小分校形式創立，民國42年（1953年）獨立設校。與和平國小並列，是南區在1980至2000年代人口爆炸前僅有的兩所國小之一。建校逾70年的今天，學校推動台灣—馬來西亞文化交流計畫，並擁有具國際賽事佳績的軟式網球隊。
