history

The state high school in Konz was opened on August 1, 1973 to relieve the Trier high schools. At that time 115 pupils in the 5th grade were taught by four teachers; The lessons initially took place in the rooms of the secondary and secondary school in the school and sports center in Konz. At the beginning of the 1978/79 school year, the new building there (today's main building) could be occupied. In 1981 the first students passed the Abitur.

In 1988 a newly built multi-purpose hall was put into operation. In order to be able to use it for larger events, the hall was supplemented by a stage extension. In 1998 a three-story extension was inaugurated. Since 2003, the high school in Konz is the first high school in Rhineland-Palatinate to be operated as an all-day school .
