history
The first application to found a third municipal grammar school is dated December 20, 1965. On May 6, 1966, the application was granted. After much planning, the topping-out ceremony will take place on August 30, 1972. On August 2 and 3, 1973, lessons for almost 600 students began in 21 classes in the new, as yet unnamed grammar school in Giethorst. The city council elects the director of studies Werner Schneider as the first director of the new grammar school. On December 19, the new grammar school got its official name: Euregio-Gymnasium. This reflects the location of the school in the German-Dutch border area, because the Euregio characterizes the European area between the Rhine, Ems and IJssel, an area that not only has cultural similarities, but also represents a unity through social and economic interrelationships. In 1974, 39 high school graduates were able to receive their school-leaving certificate for the first time. At that time, the school still had a modern language and a mathematical-scientific branch before the reformed upper level was introduced at the Euregio-Gymnasium on August 1, 1974 , which dissolved the division into the classic three branches of the grammar school.
School profile
In recent years, the Euregio-Gymnasium has developed a language focus with English, French, Spanish and Latin. Another focus of the school is the focus on the so-called MINT subjects . as well as the special promotion of lateral entrants from other types of school to the upper school level.

Since the school year 2008/09, the 60-minute cycle has been tested in lessons at the Euregio-Gymnasium . After a test phase of several years with academic support from the Westphalian Wilhelms University of Münster , it was introduced in the 2010/11 school year.
