Karlsruhe American High School (KAHS) was an American DoDDS school in Paul Revere Village, a U.S. military housing area in Karlsruhe Germany. The school opened in fall 1958 with 200 students and 25 graduating seniors. Clyde R. Born was the first principal. Karlsruhe American High School was closed in June 1995 with 100 students and 15 graduating seniors. After 1995, the school buildings were initially used by the senior classes of the German high school in nearby Neureut while their own buildings were being renovated. The school has been renamed to Heisenberg-Gymnasium.

Alumni Association

The school has a very active alumni association. Members have organized many reunions in various cities around the United States, usually of all years rather than for individual classes. In September 2015, former students returned to Karlsruhe for an all-years reunion celebrating the 20th anniversary of the last graduating class.

The KAHS Alumni Association raised funds to install a plaque honoring former students of Karlsruhe American High School. The plaque was unveiled during a ceremony at the 2015 All Years reunion in Karlsruhe.
