Stuttgart High School (SHS) is an English-language high school in southwest Germany, in Baden-Württemberg. Southwest of Stuttgart on Panzer Kaserne in Böblingen, it is operated by the United States' DODEA (formerly known as DoDDS).[1]

Opened in 2014, its enrollment is primarily dependents of military, civilian, and contract employees of the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) who are assigned to units of the Stuttgart Military Community, which includes Patch Barracks, Robinson Barracks, Panzer Kaserne, and Kelley Barracks.

It succeeded Patch American High School (1979–2015, on Patch Barracks),[2][3] and SHS remains the only DoDEA (DoDDS) high school in the Stuttgart area. Patch's school history, panther mascot, and colors were carried over to Stuttgart; black and gold are also the colors of host state Baden-Württemberg.

Another predecessor, Stuttgart American High School (SAHS), began in 1954 at Robinson Barracks, relocated to Pattonville two years later, and closed in 1993.
