About
Welcome to RamsMedia!
Founded in 1946, the Rampage Newspaper and RamsTV student-run broadcast serve as the official student body as Grayslake Central High School’s official student-run news organization. RamsMedia’s 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 content as well as the design, photos, and editorial content of both award-winning publications. The paper and broadcasts will maintain a policy that is fair, accurate, and impartial. The paper is both printed and online; the broadcasts are published online. In 2020, Grayslake Central High School piloted the Broadcast Journalism program, thus RamsTV was founded by these students. From here Rampage and RamsTV joined together to create RamsMedia, the official student news source for Grayslake Central High School.
Additionally, journalism students will have opportunities for field trips through organizations like KEMPA (Kettle Moraine Press Association) and JEA (Journalism Education Association). By attending these conferences, students will see what working as a journalist in the world is like through both hands-on experiences and expert opinions from the field.
If you have any questions or would like to join RamsMedia, please contact the staff adviser: Nina Cavender at ncavender@d127.org.
