South Burlington High School

Today, we celebrate 50 years of cultural exchange and connection between South Burlington High School and Schiller-Gymnasium in Hameln, Germany! This partnership is the second-longest high school exchange of its kind in the U.S. and the longest between Vermont and Germany, enriching generations of students through new experiences and lifelong friendships. We’re honored to welcome 15 students from Schiller-Gymnasium and special guests like Tim Kahn, who helped lay the foundation for this incredible program. A heartfelt thank you to our friends for the flag now proudly hanging in our lobby, reminding us of this meaningful partnership and all it represents. Here’s to 50 years of friendship and many more to come! #SBProud #SBpresent
