Alexander M. Patch American High School

Alexander M. Patch American High School (also known as "Patch American High School" or "Patch High School") was an English language high school on Patch Barracks in Stuttgart, Germany operated by DODEA (formerly known as DoDDS). Opened in 1979; the students were largely military dependents whose sponsors were assigned to units of the Stuttgart Military Community, including Patch Barracks, Robinson Barracks, Panzer Kaserne, and Kelley Barracks. The school was named after Alexander McCarrell Patch, a General in the United States Army during World War II. From 1979-2006 the school operated for grades 7-12. With the 1992 closure of Stuttgart American High School in Pattonville, Patch High School became the only DODEA (DoDDS) High School in the Stuttgart area. After 2006 the school changed to 9th-12th due to projected increasing enrollment and middle schools created at nearby Panzer Kaserne and Robinson Barracks to be used by these students. Patch High School officially closed June 30, 2015. The newly built Stuttgart High School (Germany) on Panzer Kaserne will be the only DoDEA (DoDDS) high school in the Stuttgart area starting with the 2015-16 school year.
