Zhuhu Elementary School

Zhuhu Elementary was founded in 1947 on a 1.1-hectare campus that once held two Amis settlements, known as "Little Zhuhu" and "Saobie." The school's name, meaning "Bamboo Lake," comes from the dense bamboo groves that once encircled a lake-like basin in the area. With fewer than 30 students, it is one of the smallest schools on this stretch of coast — yet it received Ministry of Education funding to build a traditional Amis dwelling right on its campus, anchoring Indigenous heritage education in daily school life.

竹湖國小創立於民國36年（1947年），校地1.1公頃，曾是「小竹湖」與「掃別」兩個阿美族部落的所在地。校名「竹湖」源自當地曾有茂密竹林環繞著一處湖泊般的窪地。全校學生不到30人，是這段海岸線上規模最小的學校之一——但學校仍獲教育部經費補助，在校園內興建一座傳統阿美族家屋，將原住民文化教育落實於日常校園生活中。
