Wauwatosa East and West German students voluntarily participated in the National German Exam at the end of January, 2024. The National German Exam was administered this year to over 16,000 high school students of German. The National German Exam, now in its 63rd 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.

The following students performed at the 90 percentile or above and will receive gold medals and certificates of recognition at an award ceremony in Spring.  In addition, if eligible, these students can apply for the AATG/PAD National German Exam Scholarship, a three-week study trip program to Germany.

Students who are 18 may apply for a postgraduate scholarship through the AATG.
