The Gymnasium Querfurt is a German High School in Querfurt in Saxony-Anhalt. It consists of the grades 5 through 12.
History
The school was founded in 1991 after the reunion of the Federal Republic of Germany and the German Democratic Republic. It was not newly built but created through a school fusion of the EOS "Wilhelm Pieck" Querfurt and the POS "Bernard Koenen", which are now the two school buildings. Because of many restructuring campaigns of the state of Sachsen-Anhalt's school system the staff members changed from time to time. In summer 2007 the Geiseltal Gymnasium Muecheln was closed because of more and more running out student numbers. This school fusion increased the number of the students at the Gymnasium Querfurt by approximately 200 students.
Class
Class is given in two buildings called "Haus 1" and "Haus 2", whereas Haus 1 is for students from grade 5 through 8 and Haus 2 for students from grade 9 to 12 (as of the changes from Summer 2009).
Administration
The school administration consists of the principal, Mr. Daeumer, two schedule and one guidance counselors, and the two secretaries (one of them in each "Haus").
Besides them, the school has got two Network Administrators, a teacher and an appointed student (referred to as Student Network Administrator).
School celebrations
Celebrations at the Gymnasium Querfurt include the yearly School Festival on the day before the very last one of the school year. On this day all projects of the previous week called the "Project Week" are shown to the public. Parents and becoming students of the school are also attending this festival. Besides this, the school gives a prom open for all students of the grades 11 and 12 called "Penne Ball". Graduated students are attending the "Abi Ball", another prom where the graduated students get their High school diploma before it starts.
