Heidelberg American High School was 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 had grades 9-12 (originally 7-12 until 1976 when Heidelberg Middle School, built for grades 6-8, was built on Patrick Henry Village) and offered a variety of high school courses.

Media

Heidelberg High School was featured in the 21 July 1947 issue of Life magazine.[2]

Alumni Association

The school has a very active Alumni Association whose members organize many reunions in various cities around the USA or the world, usually of all years or a range of years rather than for individual classes. Since 1986, the largest of these All-Year Reunions has been held in Heidelberg every five years. Planning is underway for the 2016 All-years Reunion. This reunion and others are publicized and discussed in Facebook Groups.
