The Medford Raider Academy (formerly called the Medford Alternative High School) was started through a Department of Public Instruction Grant which was written by Medford Schools in partnership with Rib Lake Schools. We provide alternative education options for Grades 11-12 students at-risk of not graduating from high school

Students have two options to earn a high school diploma. They can achieve a high school diploma by meeting the current established credit standards and other courses or a pass a series of tests through the GED Option 2 waiver in the State of Wisconsin. 

All students attend classes in either the morning or afternoon sessions.  They are also required to perform 15 hours a week of volunteer or paid work experiences and complete 10 hours of community service each year.  Students have performed thousands of hours of volunteer work, held jobs in the community, gone onto post-secondary education and enlisted in the military.  

Primary Alternative HS teacher is Catherine Venzke, paraprofessional Linda Brost, and Principal Jill Lybert.  Contact number is 715-748-5951 ext 4550. 

To be successful in the program, students must be motivated to:

• Learn
• Attend Regularly 
• Develop Work Skills, and
• Graduate with a Diploma
