For the first year, Fillbrunn from the Carl-Benz-Gymnasium Ladenburg was called in as acting head . At the beginning of the 1974/75 school year, Emil Meixner was appointed school director.
In the summer of 1975 construction began on the third section of the school center and the first section of the grammar school. This ended a year later. On August 14, 1976 the grammar school was inaugurated by the Schriesheim mayor Peter Riehl.

Green classroom

Redevelopment
Due to the high heating costs and poor technical equipment, the school is being renovated. The renovation is to be discussed in the local council on April 10, 2020 and basic things clarified. In order to keep the school going, the renovation is divided into 3 construction phases. The first construction phase will last until the end of 2020, phase 2 should be completed by the end of 2021, the last phase by spring 2022. The costs for the renovation should amount to a maximum of € 21.5 million, of which € 6.7 million will be added as a federal grant. Containers are set up on the teacher's parking lot as a classroom replacement, with around 4 containers forming a classroom. The first group of schoolchildren will move between December 2019 and January 2020. The main building is to be three-story, consist of 114 modules and have a floor area of 615 square meters. The adjoining building, on the other hand, is one-story and consists of only 19 containers (288 square meters). The entire IT and server area should be significantly improved in the school. The architectural office Dierks Blume Nasedy from Darmstadt is involved in the renovation .
