Bitburg Middle-High School


Bitburg Middle-High School, originally opened in 1956, was part of the Kaiserslautern School District and had a student population of approximately 230 with a faculty of thirty. It was situated in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. In the 2013-14 school year, the Bitburg Middle School was integrated into the high school.
Although Bitburg Middle-High School was located at the Bitburg Air Base housing complex, many of the students that attended this school lived at the Spangdahlem Air Base or villages in the surrounding areas. Over the course of the next decade, a new middle/high school would be built at the Spangdahlem Air Base.
Bitburg Middle-High School was a member of the Department of Defense Dependents Schools network. It implemented a Block Scheduling/Seminar schedule during the 1994–1995 school year.
