Mrs. Peterson’s English 10 students took a trip to the Sheboygan Courthouse as they prepare for their mock trial in May! Thanks to Resource Officer Meyer, they had the opportunity to connect with the Honorable Judge Bastil from Circuit Court Branch 1. As a bonus, County Clerk Courtney Hartmann helped guide the tour!

Why Random Lake?💡 At Random Lake High School, students don’t just learn about careers—they experience them! Thanks to our K-12 Academic & Career Planning (ACP), we rank near the top of ALL Sheboygan County high schools in Youth Apprenticeship (YA) applications and upperclassmen placements. From health care to construction to manufacturing, our students are gaining hands-on experience that sets them up for success. Want to learn more about how ACP can open doors for your student?

In the elementary division, 39 fourth and fifth-grade students read and answered questions to twenty book titles. The winning student team of Skylar Dupies, Hazel TeStroote, Josie Grube, and Brooklyn Kichura earned the most points and represented Random Lake Elementary School at the state battle. Two teacher teams also participated! "New Kids on the Block," a team consisting of Ms. Beck, Ms. Howell, Ms. Riechers, and Ms. Heimerman, beat out "Nacho Average Book Club," which consisted of Ms. Theis, Ms. Keller, Ms. VanderVelden, and Ms. Argue. In middle school, 23 students participated this year. All teams were responsible for reading twenty chapter books of varying genres and reading levels. After four reading battles, the team consisting of Maggie Masterson, Paisley Pratsch, and Lily Berlick earned the most points and represented the school at the state level! Random Lake High School sent a team to the state-level competition for the third year in a row! This team consisted of sophomores Mason Casper, Griffin Donahue, and RJ Leider. Thank you again to F.O.R. Kids for funding the winning teams' cash prizes and the end-of-the-season pizza party for elementary and middle school students! We appreciate your support.
