Ronald Wilson Reagan College Preparatory High School (RWR) is a high school located at 4965 South 20th Street in the former Town of Lake neighborhood of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA. It shares the Sholes Complex with the I.D.E.A.L. Charter School, however the school is being relocated allowing Reagan full access of the building. Formerly known as Town of Lake College Preparatory High School, the school changed its name after former President Ronald Reagan died in June 2004. The renaming was approved by the Milwaukee Board of School Directors on September 29, 2004, with the official renaming ceremony taking place on June 3, 2005. Ronald Wilson Reagan College Preparatory High School became an IB World School two years ago. Reagan, as the students who attend the school call it, has an alternating day schedule. In 2012, Reagan received the Gold Status as the #197 best school in the United States and #2 in the state of Wisconsin, trailing only behind Rufus King High School (U.S. News Reports 2012).

—Ronald Reagan (b. 1911)
“... [a] girl one day flared out and told the principal “the only mission opening before a girl in his school was to marry one of those candidates [for the ministry].” He said he didn’t know but it was. And when at last that same girl announced her desire and intention to go to college it was received with about the same incredulity and dismay as if a brass button on one of those candidate’s coats had propounded a new method for squaring the circle or trisecting the arc.”
—Anna Julia Cooper (1859–1964)
“Have you ever been up in your plane at night, alone, somewhere, 20,000 feet above the ocean?... Did you ever hear music up there?... It’s the music a man’s spirit sings to his heart, when the earth’s far away and there isn’t any more fear. It’s the high, fine, beautiful sound of an earth-bound creature who grew wings and flew up high and looked straight into the face of the future. And caught, just for an instant, the unbelievable vision of a free man in a free world.”
—Dalton Trumbo (1905–1976)
“We are all adult learners. Most of us have learned a good deal more out of school than in it. We have learned from our families, our work, our friends. We have learned from problems resolved and tasks achieved but also from mistakes confronted and illusions unmasked. . . . Some of what we have learned is trivial: some has changed our lives forever.”
—Laurent A. Daloz (20th century)
