Garden City High Schoolers excel in National German Exam

The American Association of Teachers of German sponsored their annual National German Exam, which is administered to nearly 22,000 high school students in the second, third and fourth level of German. The exam provides German teachers with individual diagnostic feedback, promotes language proficiency in the study of German and rewards students for their accomplishments. The National German Exam honors student performance with gold, silver, bronze and achievement awards.
