One of the hallmarks of the School District of Rhinelander, particularly in the last half decade or so, is an emphasis on pathways. While there was a time when a four-year college degree was seen as a necessity for most, in recent years the district has taken a more expansive approach focused on ensuring all Rhinelander students get what they need in their public school years in order to reach whatever goal they might set for their future, including immediate entrance into the workforce, a two-year program, military service or some combination thereof.
