User:Csjhsv/Frankfurt High School

Frankfurt American High School was a high school operated by the Department of Defense Dependents Schools (DoDDS) located in Frankfurt am Main, Germany at the US Army's Abrams Complex. It was one of DoDDS's original five high schools, opened in 1946, and taught the students of military, civilian, and state department personnel based near Frankfurt. Next to the school was a dormitory which housed students 7 days a week whose military or state department parents lived too far for local commute. Many Frankfurt students also attended half time at the Darmstadt Career Center in Darmstadt, Germany. The US Army site that the school is located on was attacked in 1972 and again in 1976 by the Baader-Meinhof Gang resulting in an increase of Military Police presence on campus. Only two of the original five DoDDS high schools remain– Heidelberg High School in Heidelberg, Germany and Kubasaki High School at Marine Corps Base Camp S.D. Butler (formerly Fort Buckner) Okinawa, Japan. Following German reunification, the US government announced plans to fully withdraw its troops from Frankfurt, Germany by 1995, at which time control of the entire site would be restored to the German Federal Government. In 1995, Frankfurt American High School was closed and the US Army returned control of the Abrams Building site to the German government.
