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.

Attention High School Juniors!
On Friday, April 17, Randolph County School System (RCSS) hosted an engaging and impactful Construction Trades Day on the campus of Randolph Community College for students from Randolph Early College High School (RECHS) and Uwharrie Ridge 6–12. The event was designed to expand students’ awareness of the wide range of opportunities available within the construction industry and to highlight viable career pathways following high school graduation.
RCSS partnered with Samet Corporation to bring this vision to life. While RCSS provided the space and helped shape the overall concept, Samet played a key role in organizing the event—coordinating construction-related businesses, securing industry participation, and helping design a day full of meaningful, hands-on experiences for students.
Throughout the event, students had the opportunity to interact directly with professionals representing a variety of skilled trades, including plumbing, electrical, mechanical, framing, and sanitation. Industry partners led interactive demonstrations and activities that encouraged teamwork while giving students a closer look at the tools, techniques, and daily responsibilities associated with each trade.
These hands-on experiences allowed students to ask questions, build connections, and gain a deeper understanding of the skills and training required to succeed in the construction field. By connecting classroom learning to real-world applications, Construction Trades Day helped students see the value of skilled trades and the critical role they play in building and maintaining communities.
The event not only introduced students to potential career options but also emphasized the many post-graduation pathways available, including apprenticeships, certifications, and technical education programs. Construction Trades Day reflects RCSS’s ongoing commitment to preparing students for success by providing authentic learning opportunities and strong partnerships with industry leaders.
