At Monday evening’s meeting, the Randolph County Board of Commissioners approved a significant increase in local funding for the Randolph County School System for the 2026–2027 school year. This investment reflects a strong commitment to supporting student success and strengthening educational opportunities across our school system.
The leadership of our school system extends our sincere appreciation to the County Commissioners for their continued support of our schools, staff, and students. We also thank the members of the Board of Education for their dedication, leadership, and hard work throughout the budget development process. The collaborative efforts of these two groups of elected officials have helped secure important resources that will benefit the students in the Randolph County School System.

Today we celebrated Day 1 of EOGs the best way we know how… ICE CREAM! 🍦
And do you know what? Our 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders ALL showed up today! We had perfect attendance across our upper grades, and our students came ready to show what they know. We are so proud of their hard work, determination, and positive attitudes!
Get some rest tonight, Stars — we’ll see you tomorrow for Day 2: Math! ➕📚
The EOGs are coming! 📚✏️
Save the date and help your student get ready for success. Together, we can help our students feel confident, prepared, and ready to shine on testing day! ⭐️
What better way to prepare for the EOGs than by participating in The Amazing Race…
Last week, our fifth graders put their skills to the test during The Amazing Race, working quickly through EOG-style clues and challenges. Students used teamwork, critical thinking, and perseverance as they raced from station to station solving problems along the way.
Learning + competition + fun = the perfect way to get our students excited and confident for EOG season! We are so proud of their hard work and determination. 🌟
Join us for our last PTO meeting!
This morning, our students ran the Go Far race! Led by coaches Ms. Kimball, Mrs. Ryan, Ms. Witten, and Mrs. Boyd, our students gave it their all and completed the race. Weeks and months of practice, dedication, and perseverance went into preparing for this accomplishment, and it truly showed today. We are so proud of our Stars for their hard work and determination! ⭐🏃♀️🏃♂️
We are gearing up for EOG season and ready to SHOW WHAT WE KNOW! ✏️📚💪
Our students and teachers have worked incredibly hard all year long, and now it’s time to celebrate that growth, confidence, and all the learning that has taken place this year. What better way to do that than with a SPIRIT WEEK?! 🎉
Have you ever wondered how the human body works? Last week, our fifth grade students in Mrs. Hutchins’ and Mrs. Moser’s classes became scientists as they created stomach models and simulated the digestion process! From breaking down food to learning how our bodies absorb nutrients, these hands-on activities brought science to life in the most engaging way. 🧪🔬🫀

Today, we celebrated National Principals Day the best way we know how—by dressing up as our favorite redhead! ❤️
We’re so lucky to have a leader we admire so much—someone who inspires us, challenges us to be better every day, and always advocates for her teachers and students.
We love you, Mrs. Phillips! Thank you for all you do! 🌟
