Heidelberg High School is a school operated by the Department of Defense Dependents Schools (DoDDS) located on the premises of Mark Twain Village, a housing area for American military members and their families in Heidelberg, Germany. It is one of DoDDS's original five high schools opened in 1946. There are only two of the original five remaining, the other being Kubasaki High School at Marine Corps Base Camp Smedley D. Butler (formerly Fort Buckner) Okinawa, Japan, however, other high schools were built later.
It has grades 9-12 (originally 7-12 until 1976 when Heidelberg Middle School, built for grades 6-8, was built on Patrick Henry Village) and offers a variety of high school courses. Due to the Military Garrisons downsizing plan, Heidelberg High School & Middle School are expected to close around 2014-2015.[1]
