Students, ed-tech company form extraordinary partnership

CORE program boosts community support, teaches students essential life skills

Twice a week, Randy takes the school bus to his local school. On the bus, Randy and his friends talk about what they think the day will bring, what they’ll learn, and they look forward to hanging out with their other friends. Randy says he’s interested in helping the school become the best it can be, and thanks to Principal William Sprankles, Ohio’s Princeton High School makes it possible for Randy to be himself and make a difference.

What makes Randy Wilhelm stand out from other kids at school is that he’s got kids of his own–and he’s also the CEO of netTrekker, maker of an educational search tool.

Wilhelm is part of a new initiative at the Ohio high school not only to spur community support for education, but also to help kids learn critical life skills that will serve them well beyond graduation.
