If you have visited the passport office, dental clinic, or Red Cross you have likely interacted with one of the many career practicum students in the Stuttgart community. Career Practicum is a unique class offered at Stuttgart High School that allows students to gain hands-on work experience for two or three periods of their school day with options including assisting teachers at both the high school and elementary school or working outside the school in settings such as public affairs, the USO, and even military units, such as U.S. Special Operations Command Europe (SOCEUR)’s J6 unit.

DoDEA Europe has successfully integrated wristwatch heart rate monitor (HRM) technology into high school physical education (PE) classes across Europe. This initiative highlights a strong collaboration among IT specialists, educational technologists (ETs), instructional systems specialists (ISS), and teacher support networks through job-alike Focus Collaboration Time (FCT).

DoDEA Europe has three JROTC programs, Wiesbaden, Kaiserslautern, and Stuttgart, represented with nine JROTC cadets competing in precision air rifle at JROTC National Air Rifle Championships. This achievement reflects a strong season in DoDEA Athletics and impressive showing at the JROTC Service Championships in February. The three teams represent the best of DoDEA Europe. The teams faced-off in the DoDEA Europe Finals 2025 and now in the JROTC National Championship at Camp Perry, Ohio. The field of JROTC teams span the services - US Army, US Air Force, US Navy, and US Marine Corps.
