Yucai Elementary School

Yucai Elementary traces its founding to 1918, during the Japanese colonial era, as a branch of Yuanshan Public School known as "Wai-Yuanshan Branch of Yuanshan Public School." It became independent in 1921 as "Yuanshan Second Public School," and took its current name, Yucai National School, in May 1946. The school built a strong athletic reputation in the 1980s, when its soccer team won the county championship seven years running, alongside a notable track and field program. Since 1993, the school has developed a traditional "waist-drum" (腰鼓) performance program as part of a cultural heritage transmission project, giving students a hands-on connection to a traditional Chinese performing art.

育才國小創立於1918年（日治時期），初為員山公學校的分校，稱「員山公學校外員山分校」，1921年獨立設校，定名「員山第二公學校」，1946年5月更名為「育才國民學校」，即現名前身。學校在1980年代體育表現亮眼，足球隊曾締造縣冠軍七連霸的紀錄，田徑隊也表現突出。自1993年起，學校推動傳統「腰鼓」表演節目，作為文化資產傳承計畫的一環，讓學生親身體驗傳統技藝。
