About Us

Hi! We’re Rampage.

The 2024-2025 Rampage staff celebrate the final print issue of the year.

Founded in 1946, the Rampage magazine and RamsTV broadcast serve as the official student-run news organization for Grayslake Central High School and the surrounding communities. Collectively known as RamsMedia, our basic function is to serve the Grayslake Central High School student body and the greater Grayslake community by informing, educating, and stimulating the exchange of diverse opinions. Students are responsible for the design, photos, and editorial content of both award-winning publications. The magazine and broadcast will maintain a policy that is fair, accurate, and impartial. The magazine is both printed and online; broadcasts, podcasts, and more are published online. \

Senior Rampage staffers pose with the first Rampage issue back from e-learning in December 2021.

Members of RamsMedia have opportunities for field trips, competitions, and awards through organizations like KEMPA (Kettle Moraine Press Association) and JEA (Journalism Education Association).

If you have any questions or would like to join RamsMedia, please contact staff adviser Nina Cavender at ncavender@d127.org.

Online Comments

As an open public forum, Rampage welcomes reader comments and debate. Rampage encourages community members to take ownership of their opinions by using their names when commenting. However, in order to ensure a diverse range of opinions, Rampage may allow anonymous comments as long as they are respectful and relevant, as determined by the editorial board. Comments are moderated, but not edited, and will appear only after being approved.
