Speakers of German Earn Awards


Five McDonogh students of German were recently honored for their high achievement on the National High School German Test, at a ceremony sponsored by the American Association of Teachers of German; the Goethe Institut; and the German, Austrian, and Swiss embassies. The McDonogh students were recognized at the 2014 Awards Ceremony for Maryland Students of German on Sunday, May 12 at the Zionkirche (Baltimore Zion Lutheran Church).

Across the country, a total of 22,000 tests were administered for German levels 2, 3, and 4. This year, as in the past, McDonogh students fared very well. Jack D. '16, Jennifer H. '14, Willem F. '16, Matt M. '16, and Geordie E. '14 (not pictured) were presented with certificates, gift bags, and checks ranging from $50-$100. Jennifer H. also received the AATG (American Association of Teachers of German) Summer Study Award. She plans to live with a family in Germany for two weeks and then travel for two weeks.

Gluckwunsch (congratulations) on this impressive accomplishment!
