redefining ready

The Random Lake School District is proud to highlight its unwavering commitment to preparing students for future careers, as reflected in its 2024 Redefining Ready Report. Through the district’s RLAdvantage initiative, students are gaining access to experiences and opportunities that set them apart in today’s competitive workforce.


Career readiness remains a cornerstone of the Random Lake School District’s mission.

Key initiatives contributing to this achievement include:

  • Career-Based Learning Opportunities: Students participated in hands-on experiences such as youth apprenticeships, local co-ops, and supervised agricultural projects.  These activities, combined with our Mock Interviews and employer visits, ensures that every student graduates having multiple Career based Learning experiences.

  • Industry-Recognized Certifications: From Microsoft programs to certified nursing assistant training, the percentage of students that graduate from Random Lake High School with an Industry Recognized Certification is one of the highest in the state.

  • Dual-Credit Courses: 93% of the graduating class of 2025 will leave high school with at least one Dual Credit. .

  • Extracurricular Engagement: Over 80% of students took part in activities that build leadership, teamwork, and a sense of community, skills essential for long-term success.


What sets Random Lake apart is the RLAdvantage, a district-wide approach to creating personalized learning paths that align with each student’s unique strengths and aspirations. This approach ensures that students graduate with not only academic achievements but also the practical experiences and certifications that employers value.

“Our focus has always been on preparing students for life beyond high school,” said District Administrator, Michael Trimberger, “Through RLAdvantage, we’re empowering them to pursue their passions and succeed in a rapidly evolving world.”  In this way, we truly meet our vision of “Preparing tomorrow leaders with a distinct advantage.”


The Random Lake School District remains committed to expanding career readiness initiatives, ensuring all students graduate with the skills and confidence to thrive in their chosen paths. As the district continues to build on the RLAdvantage, its students are poised to lead and succeed in college, careers, and beyond.
