The Rhinelander High School Mock Trial team is headed to the state tournament.  Adding to a tradition of tournament appearances in Madison that at one time included a 33-year win streak at regionals, the 2024 Rhinelander One team placed second in regional competition last weekend at the Marathon County Courthouse.  

The state tournament takes place the first weekend in March in Madison. RHS and 23 other schools from around the state will compete for a chance to present their case in front of the State Supreme Court.
