Yancheng Elementary School

Yancheng Elementary School dates to 1921, when it opened under Japanese rule as Kaohsiung Second Ordinary Higher Elementary School. It was renamed Horiie Ordinary Higher Elementary School in 1937, after the Japanese-settler quarter of Horiie-chō where it stood, then became Yancheng National School in 1947 and took its current name in 1968. Its main brick school building, completed in 1926, still anchors the historic campus. Notable alumni include Peng Ming-min, the prominent Taiwanese human-rights advocate and politician. A 2021 retrospective article, "The Forgotten Century of 'Kaohsiung's Second Elementary,'" revisited the school's long, layered history.

鹽埕國小創校於大正10年（1921年），日治時期初名「高雄第二尋常高等小學校」。昭和12年（1937年）因校址位於日本移民聚居的堀江町而改名「堀江尋常高等小學校」，民國36年（1947年）更名為「鹽埕國民學校」，民國57年（1968年）定名為現名。民國15年（1926年）落成的磚造主建築至今仍是校園歷史地標。知名校友包括台灣人權運動者暨政治人物彭明敏。2021年一篇回顧報導〈被遺忘的百年「高雄二小」〉重新梳理了這所學校漫長而多層次的歷史。
