[4] In 2017, Randolph High School was rated "Met Standard" by the Texas Education Agency, with a 1-Star Distinction for Academic Achievement in Social Studies. [5] In 2005 Randolph was ranked the 15th-best high school in Texas by the Texas Education Excellence Project.[ citation needed ] The school has been a Texas Education Agency Exemplary School multiple times, most recently in 2009 and 2010. [6] [7]

Technology

Beginning in 2003 students were issued 1:1 laptop computers for classroom and personal use during the school year, but had to return their computers before the end of the year. In 2011, the school purchased Promethean Boards for every classroom and in 2013 the school received a DODEA grant to provide all students and teachers with Apple iPad Air tablets.

Construction

From 2007 to 2008, the school underwent construction to renovate the gymnasium and add a one-million-dollar fine arts center. The fine arts center was named the Richard L. Wilson Fine Arts Center in 2009 for the schools most successful band director from 1995 to 2008. Wilson's bands never placed lower than first place in more than 35 marching band competitions and he led the marching bands to seven consecutive appearances in the bi-annual State Marching Contest. In 2015, the school district received a grant to construct a new high school, located directly behind the current high school. The new high school opened August 2016. [8]

Classes

In addition to the core classes, courses include Sociology, Spanish language, Business Computers, Video Tech, Music Theory, Sports Medicine, and several advanced placement (AP) courses.

Athletics

The Ro-Hawks currently fields teams in football, cross country, volleyball, basketball, power lifting, swimming, tennis, golf, baseball, softball, bowling & track/field.

The girls track and field team placed 7th in 2005 and then won the 2A State Championship three consecutive times in 2006, 2007, and 2008, making it the first high school in the San Antonio area to repeat since 1989. In 2009, the team took their first 2nd place title. In 2012, the team won their 4th state championship in girls track and field. [9]

In 2015 the Boys' Basketball team made their 3rd trip (1992, 1994) to the UIL State Basketball Tournament at the Alamodome in San Antonio. The #21 ranked Ro-Hawks eliminated #20 Childress HS in the Semi-Finals 31-29 setting up the first State Finals appearance in school history against #1 Brock HS. The Ro-Hawks would fall to the Eagles 37-32 marking the end of a historic season, finishing 31-4 overall.

[10]

The school prides itself that its mascot, the "Ro-Hawk", is the only mascot of its kind in Texas and the United States. Ro-Hawk is a combination of the words rocket & hawks. The image is a hawk riding a rocket with a lightning bolt clenched in its talon. Rumor has it that upon opening the school the school board could not decide on a mascot. Half of its members wanted Rockets, which was already in use by nearby Judson High School, and half wanted Hawks, to keep with the Air Force Academy's use of bird mascots (Falcons). So, as a compromise, Ro-Hawks was selected.

Band

The award-winning Mighty Randolph Ro-Hawk Marching Band won every non-UIL marching competition they entered from 1997 to 2009. The band has received a First Division Rating at the UIL Region Contest for 20 consecutive years. They have advanced to the bi-annual UIL Area Marching Contest every possible year since 1995, and they were named Area Champions in 2009. The Ro-Hawk Band advanced to the UIL State Marching Band Championship in every possible year from 1997 to 2009 (1997, 1999, 2001, 2003, 2005, 2007, and 2009). The Ro-Hawk Band's best finish was in 1999, when they placed 7th at the Class AA UIL State Marching Band Championship. Their most recent appearance at the UIL State Championship was in 2009.
