“We are incredibly proud of our students not only for taking this exam, but earning this prestigious recognition,” South High German teacher Sarah Moreno said. “We hope these students will continue their language studies beyond their high school career.”

The National German Exam is administered each year to more than 20,000 high school students of German. The exam, now in its 61st year, provides individual diagnostic feedback, rewards students through an extensive regional and national prize program, and creates a sense of accomplishment. Exam results provide teachers a means of comparing students in all regions of the country, as well as programmatic data to help inform curricular decisions.
