The Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) school system spans the globe from Asia to Europe to the Americas. As part of the Department of Defense Dependents Schools in Europe (DoDDS-E), Kaiserslautern District is one of five school districts. The District Superintendent's Office (DSO) and its 20 schools are located in Germany. Each school is accredited by the North Central Association (NCA) of Schools.
Lawanna Mangleburg became the Kaiserslautern District Superintendent in July 2005. She is committed to ensure the social, emotional and academic growth of children and feels that this is why we are here. Two of the main goals throughout DoDEA schools are for all students to meet or exceed challenging standards, as well as to form stronger partnerships between parents, the schools and the community.
Dr. Liz Dunham has been involved in education throughout her entire life. She taught junior high school and senior high school for ten years in Iowa and Washington State before joining DoDDS in 1987. At that time, she was hired as a staff developer, and for the next 11 years, she worked with K-12 teachers and administrators on school improvement and effective teaching practices.
