From an ancestral home to a century of schooling.
Wanggong Elementary opened its doors on April 1, 1920, as a satellite teaching site of Shashan Public School, housed in a traditional ancestral residence with just two classes and 13 students. A century later, the school marked its 100th anniversary across the 2019–2020 school year, celebrating a milestone shared with few rural schools in Taiwan. Today it serves the children of Wanggong Village, a fishing community on Changhua's coast in Fangyuan Township.
王功國小創立於民國9年（1920年）4月1日，最初為沙山公學校的分教場，借用傳統祖厝上課，僅有兩班、13名學生。歷經一世紀，學校於108學年度（2019–2020年）舉辦建校百週年慶祝活動，是台灣少數鄉村學校達成的重要里程碑。如今持續服務彰化縣芳苑鄉王功村這個沿海漁村的學童。

Wang Gong, a fishing village on the wetlands.
Wanggong Village calls itself "the hometown of pearl oysters," drawing on its identity as a fishing village along Fangyuan Township's coastal wetlands. The school weaves this scenery and ecology directly into student life, from unicycling on the schoolyard to IoT projects inspired by the shoreline.
