History[edit]

The origin of the site[edit]

Before being a high school, this establishment was a regular school under the acronym "IUFM" where teachers were trained for elementary schools and kindergartens, but the school shut down in the 2000s and remained abandoned until 2014.

The establishment today[edit]

The high school offers high school general / technical teaching as well as a microlycée (a special unit to prevent students from dropping out of school). The high school hosts mainly students from Bourget, Dugny and Drancy.

However, the deputy and mayor of Drancy, Jean-Christophe Lagarde, was upset at the opening of the new high school Bourget, claiming the new school in Le Bourget would take nearly twice as less Drancy students than originally announced (650 instead of 1200). The regional government however denied allegations and figures.[2]

The school opened in September 2014, becoming the 65th public high school in Seine-Saint-Denis.[3]

In 2016, the school authorities of Île-de-France renamed the Lycée du Bourget to Germaine Tillion.[4]
