On February 1, over 20,000 students nationwide took the National German Exam, including Centennial’s second, third, and fourth level German students.

Written entirely in German, the electronic exam tests students’ comprehension of the German language through an audio/video section as well as a reading section. Both sections feature multiple choice questions regarding the selected text, audio, or video sample.

In Maryland, students won a total of 143 medals. In true eagle fashion, many Centennial students demonstrated outstanding work, winning a collective 35 medals. Congratulations to these students and to everyone who participated!
