A quintet of students graduate from the Dorfen Gymnasium with the best grade of 1.0.

The year is one of the best in the school's entire history.

Dorfen

- School's out forever: 115 high school students in Dorfen already have their university entrance qualifications in their pockets, four students still have to tremble in the next week's exams.

42 high school graduates graduated with an A before the decimal point, 21 of them have an average of 1.5 or better.

And five graduates excelled with the top grade of 1.0.

At 2.11, the Abitur average was only significantly below that of the previous year (2.06).

This year's high school graduates belong to the second best year in the history of the Gymnasium Dorfen.

"Now the gate to the world is open to you," said headmaster Markus Höß to the one-candidates.

“I hope you will come back to us as teachers or professors at some point.” He is as proud as Oskar when he looks at the best of the year.

"We were able to give you a lot as a school." Höß did not want to reveal his own cut on Friday, but said that he was also a good student.

"But of course not nearly as good as the frontrunners."

In addition, the students can specialize their profile after the tenth grade.” In plain language: deselect some subjects and at the same time decide on subject areas,

Höß was also pleased that the Abitur did not suffer from the pandemic this year.

"It took a load off our hearts." After all, the normal lessons made many things easier again, the high school graduates also agreed.

"You learn automatically at school, with online lessons you first have to motivate yourself, you need a lot more discipline," explained Jakob Ehness, 18 years old, who is one of the top quintet.

Learning has never been difficult for him.

Together with his equally successful classmate Julius Appel, he first wants to take a break in Sweden: "We deserved it," added Appel.

He didn't expect a 1.0 at all, because English isn't actually his best subject, said the 17-year-old Dorfener.

The friends want to start their studies at the Technical University of Munich in the winter semester.

"Mechanical engineering or computer science," said Ehness.

And Appel: "Maybe organic."

Miriam Schumacher (17) does not want to make a commitment yet: "If you're that good, you can study anything - and I enjoy a lot of things." She doesn't have a secret recipe for her super degree: "I was well prepared and have been learning for regularly in fifth grade – that's a good basis.” First of all, she wants to celebrate her cut with friends.

Before Benedikt Gradl is a voluntary ecological year at the Center for Environment and Culture in Benediktbeuern.

After that he would like to study – “natural sciences”, he said.

Matthias Eibl is still undecided.

"I have a lot of choice," said the 18-year-old from Kienraching.

He would like to get rid of two messages: "Firstly, the Dorfen high school is a great school." But it is more important to him that you can get a top degree despite the broad Bavarian dialect: "I contradict the cliché of the hillbilly," he said with a wink , "I see myself with leather trousers and a laptop".

The graduation ceremony with the awarding of certificates will take place across Bavaria on June 24th.
