In 1985, 1989, and 1994 students from MacArthur participated in this program. Partner students from Germany live in the homes of their partners at MacArthur in the  Spring and attend school for two weeks, then the MacArthur partners go to Germany to do the same thing. The new Mac partner school is the Greiz Gymnasium.

Greiz is a small town south of Leipzig near the Thuringian Forest. MacArthur has had a long time affiliation with Greiz because of the English Teacher Mr. Jens Sippel, who was the tour guide for the 1989 Mac GAPP group touring in the former East Germany.

Watch for pictures and information about the activities planned for this program The Greiz students will be at Mac in March-April, 2002. We will do all we can to be good hosts and show them the wonders of our interesting city, the Texas coast, the Hill Country, and many other aspects of life in Texas.

Mac students were in Greiz from June 6 to June 29, 2003. The visits were to Munich, Prague Berlin, Leipzig, Dresden, , as well as spend two weeks attending school.

Now that everyone has email students on both sides got to know each other quite well, exchanging pictures and letters daily.

The Next trip to Greiz is planned for the summer of 2003
