“We remember hearing a senior student speak and thinking, 'If we can raise children who are even half as poised and thoughtful, we’ll be doing just fine.' That’s the kind of impact Randolph has. It shapes confident, compassionate, capable people, and we’re grateful to be part of it.”
- Raymond II '88 & Kristy Jones
For our family, Randolph has been more than just a school. It has been one of the best decisions we’ve ever made as parents. As an alumnus, I (Raymond II) attended Randolph from Kindergarten through 8th grade, and I can say without hesitation that it prepared me for the world.
The foundation I received there shaped who I am, and I was proud to return years later to serve on the Board. I was constantly impressed by the intelligence, dedication, and thoughtfulness of those around me.

“Every gift, no matter the size, enriches our children's learning. Volunteerism and philanthropy work together to enhance the student experience and support the teachers and staff who make it all possible. It is a privilege to be part of that legacy and to help create lasting memories for the students of Randolph."
- Paulina Noriega Samayoa
When I first became involved as a parent volunteer at Randolph, I was struck by the incredible impact that both small and big acts of service can have on students, teachers, and the entire community.
What began as a way to support my children's experiences quickly grew into something much deeper: a genuine connection with the students in their classes, a familiarity with their friends, and meaningful relationships with nearly every teacher at the Lower School. Volunteering gave me a window into the interactions that shape their days, and it allowed me to witness firsthand the kindness, curiosity, and growth that flourish at Randolph.
The Hughey Family
Jay, Lauren, Liza ‘25, Turner ‘28, Mac ‘32
“A thriving school depends on strong stewardship. We believe in supporting Randolph not only financially, but also by giving our time. The more we invest, the more connected we become.”
- Lauren Hughey
We give to Randolph because we are so grateful for the many ways it has given to our family. Our children enrolled in the fall of 2021 after several difficult years and two school changes.
We were searching for a place that could meet the unique needs of each of our kids academically, socially, and emotionally. Randolph met those needs, while also drawing us into a community that quickly felt like family.
