Shimen Elementary School

Shimen Elementary was founded in 1918, during the Japanese colonial era, as "Sankengzi Public School" (三坑仔公學校), one of the oldest schools in the district. Its first principal was Hirota Yoshisaburo, a Japanese-era educator. The school was renamed several times through the colonial period — from 三坑仔 to 三坑子公學校 to 三坑子國民學校 — before taking its present name, Shimen (石門), in 1957. In December 1944, wartime military requisition of the school buildings forced classes to be split across three separate locations, running two shifts a day — a notable wartime survival story. The school celebrated its 100th anniversary school festival, attended by the Taoyuan mayor.

石門國小創立於日治大正7年（1918年），初名「三坑仔公學校」，是區內歷史最悠久的學校之一，首任校長為日籍教育家廣田義三郎。學校在日治時期歷經多次更名——由三坑仔公學校改為三坑子公學校、三坑子國民學校，直到民國46年（1957年）才定名為「石門」。民國33年（1944年）12月，因戰時校舍遭軍方徵用，學生一度分散至三坑寺、懷仔臺、三角林三處上課，並實施二部制教學，成為一段特殊的戰時校史。學校並曾舉辦百年校慶，桃園市長親自出席。
