history

The roots

The fact that the two cities Ohligs and forest grew strong and counted together already 40,000 inhabitants in 1900, quickly came to the desire of existing higher boys' schools , which the classes VI - UIII ( Sexta to Untertertia included) to a secondary school merge and expand. The type of school was chosen to meet the needs of the population and to facilitate the later incorporation of a secondary school, which was intended from the outset . In May 1902, the Wald town council decided to set up the school. The building was inaugurated in 1904. After the first final examination of the Realschule had taken place in 1905, the school was attached to a Reform realprogymnasium a year later . In 1907 it was expanded to a full institution and the first high school graduates left the school in 1912.

Exchanges

The school has a long tradition of student exchanges . As early as in grade 8, students have the opportunity to get to know England with a family or to visit partner schools in France for a short time. Recently, in addition to the traditional trip to Naperville in the USA, students have also had the opportunity to visit Argentina or Israel. There are student exchange programs with the cities:

Since 2013, students have also been able to take part in the junior election. In terms of sport, the school is represented with its student teams in state and national competitions. Robot AG builds and programs robots and successfully takes part in competitions with them, including in 2016 and 2017 with 1st place in the NRW finals of the robot game at the zdi robot competition.

In the state-wide comparisons in grades 8, the school came off as one of the three best high schools in all of North Rhine-Westphalia.

The school association of the Humboldtgymnasium in Solingen eV was founded on February 15, 1949 under the name "Schulverein Humboldtgymnasium Solingen" and has been supporting the students ever since.
