🎄✨ Learning in Action in RCSS High Schools this Season ✨🎄
Throughout the year, our central services staff partner with school based teams to step into high school classrooms through instructional rounds. Instructional rounds are a collaborative learning process where educators visit classrooms together, observe teaching and learning, and then reflect as a team on strengths to celebrate and opportunities for continued growth.
These visits are all about shared learning, professional dialogue, and supporting great instruction for every student.
Pictured here are some members of the team that recently completed instructional rounds at Providence Grove High School. We are grateful to all participants for the professionalism, openness, and teamwork that make this work meaningful. 🎁🌟

❄️ **Winter Learning Magic!** ❄️
Recently RCSS ESL teachers and select principals partnered with Courtney Morgan of The All Access Classroom for inspiring professional development focused on scaffolding in the content areas.
Just like this special season reminds us that no two snowflakes are alike, we know that every child is beautiful —unique in their strengths, needs, and potential. ❄️✨
Courtney guided the team through powerful strategies to ensure all students can access rigorous content, grow with confidence, and feel supported every step of the way. Our educators are bringing additional tools into classrooms to help every learner shine.
As we head into the holidays, we’re grateful for dedicated teachers, collaborative leaders, and the shared belief that every student deserves a path to success built with care, creativity, and heart. ❤️🎄

Congratulations to Northeastern Randolph Middle School and Randolph Early College High School for being honored at the PTEC 2025–2026 Signature Schools breakfast at UNCG today. PTEC is a collaboration of K–12 districts across central North Carolina.




Yesterday, seven members of the Eastern Randolph High School FFA traveled to Asheboro Health and Rehabilitation to deliver Christmas cards to the residents. This heartfelt visit was part of our ongoing commitment to community service, giving students the chance to brighten the holiday season for others while strengthening their connection to the local community.




The Randolph County School System was recognized last week at the CTE Directors’ Fall Conference for our students earning 9,443 credentials during the 2024–2025 school year, placing us 8th in North Carolina among 115 PSUs. It is worth noting that the seven school systems ahead of us each serve well over 20,000 students. This accomplishment also reflects an impressive increase of 2,074 credentials from the 2023–2024 school year.
Our school system also achieved a credential attainment rate of 72.45%, representing the percentage of credentials earned out of those offered. Both the total number of credentials earned and our attainment rate for 2024–2025 are the highest in our school system’s history.
A BIG THANK YOU to our students, CTE staff, counselors and administrators who play a vital role in CTE program development and in making credentialing a natural and expected part of their campus culture. While not every credential directly impacts future job placement, each one contributes to building student skills, knowledge, and résumé strength.
