History
Randolph began its mission in 1959 with a handful of elementary classes in an antebellum home. Within a few short years, the school relocated to a spacious 17-acre campus on Drake Avenue. Huntsville was rapidly growing, transplanting its economic roots in cotton production to U.S. missile defense, rockets and space age technology. The high academic standards of the school were reflected in the careers and dreams of the parent community. Numerous scientists and engineers, including the legendary space pioneer Dr. Wernher von Braun, sent their children to Randolph. The school’s rigorous college preparatory curriculum and successful alumni rapidly became the pride of the Huntsville business community. In 1981, a local fortune 500 company donated a computer lab, one of the first of its kind in a high school setting. Since those early days, the school has maintained “high academic standards” in all curricula, and in 1998, the school attracted national attention for successfully integrating laptop computers and a wireless network. The school is now listed as an IBM reference site for its outstanding technology program. Randolph received national accolades again in 2001 and in 2003 as a national Blue Ribbon School of Excellence. The U.S. Department of Education cited Randolph’s commitment to excellence in grades K-12.
