Ramstein American High School (or RHS) is a Department of Defense Dependents Schools (DoDDS) high school in the Kaiserslautern district, Germany, which serves the European portion of DoDDS. Their mascot is the Royal, a lion with a crown.
Ramstein American High School is located on Ramstein Air Base (RAB) which is just outside Kaiserslautern, Germany. The Kaiserslautern Military Community (KMC), which RAB is a part of, has an approximate population of 53,000 Americans, the largest concentration of United States Military outside of the United States.
The school population was at 1,057 students for school year 2007-08. There was an attempt at downsizing the school for the 2008-09 school year to approximately 850 students. However, this attempt failed with the new school population being above that of last years.
Ramstein HS is accredited by the North Central Association for Accreditation. Every five years the school is visited by North Central to assess the success of the school's individual school improvement plan. The professional and auxiliary staff members at school complete an in-depth report which addresses one affective and one cognitive area that the school has chosen to address in an outcomes based school improvement plan. This self-study is submitted to the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools for their review and evaluation.
Over the years Ramstein HS has been visited by the North Central Association and as a result has been recommended for outcomes-based accreditation. In addition to the accreditation visits, annual reports are submitted to the NCA, which serves as an update for the original self-study.
There is interscholastic competition for boys and girls during the three seasons. A physical examination each year is required to tryout, practice or play. All students have to maintain academic eligibility in order to participate in the athletics program.
The Men's varsity basketball team won the Div I Championships in 2009 and 2010. They took 2nd place in 2011.They recently won the European Championships in 2015 and 2016.
Each club elects at least one position (Senator) and may select up to six (Secretary, Vice President, President, etc.)
In the past, Honors classes were considered "combined grades" classes where both the Honors History and Literature grades are averaged together and given as one grade, however in 2014 Honors History and Literature classes were separated and given individual grades.
