Sister School
Northrop High School has had a sister school, the Goethe Gymnasium, in Fort Wayne's sister city, Gera, Germany, since 1994. Northrop's German teacher, Kris Kallmeyer, was recognized in 2009 by the Fort Wayne Sister Cities Committee as a "Friend of Gera" because of his work initiating an exchange program with the Goethe Gymnasium. Since its inception, nine groups of Northrop students have visited Gera with reciprocal visits from Germany occurring on the alternate years.

Famous quotes containing the words sister and/or school:
“Not all conflicts between siblings are good, of course. A child who is repeatedly humiliated or made to feel insignificant by a brother or sister is learning little except humiliation and shame.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
“I am both a public and a private school boy myself, having always changed schools just as the class in English in the new school was taking up Silas Marner, with the result that it was the only book in the English language that I knew until I was eighteen—but, boy, did I know Silas Marner!”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
