Being one of the largest high schools in the Northwoods, Rhinelander High School has a diverse range of courses including three foreign languages - Spanish, French, and German. The school is notorious for its record of the most consecutive wins in Mock Trial, a nation-wide high school extra curricular activity where students study a court case selected by the state and then break down the case in a simulated court-of-law setting.
