Round Lake High School is the high school of Round Lake Area Schools District 116, and our Special Services department offers several distinct programs. Our life skills program serves students with significant cognitive, adaptive, communication or academic needs through a functional curriculum, community-based learning, time with general education peers, and work placements on our Coffee Cart and with local business partners. Learning Appropriate Behaviors (LAB) provides the general education curriculum in a more structured setting with point sheets and behavior levels, and our cross-categorical instructional program adds vocational training through Panther Work Crew while students meet all graduation requirements. Academic interventionists work with students one-on-one and in small groups in reading and math. Career and technical education courses include introduction to engineering and design, robotics and automation, engineering design and development, photography and a digital arts capstone. We offer English as a New Language classes and the Seal of Biliteracy. Students can join our marching band, which competes at the Illinois Marching Band Championships, jazz band, Rhapsody a cappella choir, speech team, scholastic bowl, eSports, chess and bass fishing. A student health and wellness center serves our campus.
