Rudolf Schmitt Foundation
The Rudolf Schmitt Foundation, founded in August 2003 in memory of the former deputy headmaster Rudolf Schmitt, is the first Saarland foundation to support a public school. The founder is Helene Schmitt, Rudolf Schmitt's sister, and the foundation's assets are currently EUR 380,000. The interest is used to support "teaching-related and educational activities"; the foundation's assets may not be touched. Through regular donations from the founder, the grammar school received a total of € 51,000 from the foundation in 2006. The foundation's board of directors, consisting of the director (chairman), the founder (deputy chairwoman) and Hanneliese Greuling, decides on the use of the funds, provided that the amount of 4000 € is not exceeded in individual cases.
robotics
A voluntary robotics working group has also been offered for several years. The school has a specially prepared robotics room. The teams compete at regional, national and international level. One of the greatest successes was winning the World Cup in the RoboCup Junior Soccer 2on2, but also several awards from the First Lego League . The working group is also represented at numerous official events in the Saarland and various business associations, for example at the Empower Germany Congress.
