A century of history, marked by a lasting gate.
Guangxing Elementary was founded on April 24, 1921, during the period of Japanese colonial rule in Taiwan, making it one of the older schools in the Xiluo area. A Shinto shrine once stood on campus during that era; after the war, the site was converted into a children's playground, but its torii gate remains standing today — a striking physical reminder of the school's layered history spanning more than a century.
廣興國小創立於大正10年（1921年）4月24日，正值台灣日治時期，是西螺地區歷史較悠久的學校之一。該時期校內曾設有神社，戰後原址改建為兒童遊樂場，但神社的鳥居至今仍屹立校園，成為學校跨越百年、層層疊疊校史的鮮明實體見證。
