A century-old campus with a colonial-era legacy.
Xihu Elementary was founded in 1902, giving it over 120 years of history and making it one of the oldest schools in the area. The campus features a Japanese-era school gate designed by Taiwan's Governor-General's Office, distinguished by dark green stone pillars and wrought-iron gates, along with what was reportedly the widest-span auditorium among Japanese-era Taiwan public schools, topped with a distinctive slate-blue tile roof. The school's guiding philosophy is captured in the saying, "lacking talent is not the issue; lacking a platform is" (不怕沒人才只怕沒舞台).
溪湖國小創立於1902年（民國前9年），至今已有超過120年歷史，是本地區歷史最悠久的學校之一。校園保留了由台灣總督府設計的日治時期校門，以深綠色石柱與鑄鐵門扉為特色，另有據傳是日治時期台灣公學校中跨距最寬的禮堂，屋頂覆以獨特的灰藍色瓦片。學校的辦學理念濃縮於這句話：「不怕沒人才，只怕沒舞台」。
