A green campus with an 18th-century namesake.
Touhu Elementary was established in 2008, though it did not open its doors to students until 2011. Its name, Touhu ("first lake"), honors a small village founded around 1782 by settlers from Quanzhou, Fujian — tying this modern, low-carbon campus to one of Linkou's oldest Han-settlement place names. The school is a candidate for golden-level green-building certification, reflecting a sustained focus on sustainable design.
頭湖國小成立於民國97年（2008年），但直到民國100年（2011年）才正式開始招生。校名「頭湖」（意為「第一座湖」）源自約清乾隆47年（1782年）由福建泉州移民建立的聚落，將這座現代化的低碳校園，與林口區最古老的漢人聚落地名之一相連結。學校目前正申請黃金級綠建築認證，展現對永續設計的長期投入。
