A century marked in the shape of a grain silo.
Hejian Elementary was founded on April 1, 1920 (民國9年), originally as "下營鄉公學校麻豆寮分校," becoming independent in April 1921 (民國10年) as "麻豆寮公學校"; it took its current name after the 2010 Tainan county-city merger. The school celebrated its 100th anniversary around 2020–2021 with a newly built school building whose design was inspired by the shape of a traditional grain silo (穀倉) — a direct architectural nod to the rice-farming heritage of Madouliao village, in the same agricultural district that made Xiaying famous for its geese, black beans, and pomelo. The centennial celebration and new-building dedication drew local and national news coverage, and Tainan mayor Huang Wei-che attended the ceremony. The school runs ongoing cultural-heritage education programs.
賀建國小創校於民國9年(1920年)4月1日,初名「下營鄉公學校麻豆寮分校」,民國10年(1921年)4月獨立設校,定名「麻豆寮公學校」,2010年台南縣市合併後改為現名。學校於2020至2021年前後歡慶建校百週年,並落成一棟造型仿傳統穀倉設計的全新校舍——直接呼應麻豆寮聚落的稻作農耕傳統,也呼應下營以養鵝、黑豆、文旦聞名的農業區特色。百年校慶暨新校舍落成典禮獲地方及全國媒體報導,時任台南市長黃偉哲亦出席典禮。學校持續推動文化資產教育課程。
