The “Pride in the Randolph County School System (RCSS)” program honors employees who consistently demonstrate pride in the school system and exemplify strong character and commitment in their everyday work. While the program primarily highlights smaller, often unnoticed acts of dedication, it also recognizes exceptional efforts tied to larger events when appropriate.
Employees chosen for this recognition are awarded a “Pride in the Randolph County School System” lapel pin. Recipients are selected by members of the RCSS Leadership Team, school principals, or Board of Education members.
The following pages list the “Pride in RCSS” pin recipients from May 1, 2024, through April 30, 2025. We extend our sincere thanks to these outstanding employees for their dedication to the Randolph County School System.
On behalf of the Teacher of the Year Selection Committee, the Randolph County School System is honored to announce the five 2025-2026 Teacher Of the Year Finalists.
RCSS is experiencing a system-wide internet outage. This impacts our phone systems as well. Our district staff is working to resolve this issue. Thank you for your patience.

Last week, our fifth graders took a look at what could be their future! They visited Trinity High and Wheatmore to learn about RCSS Career and Technical Education Programs!
These tours helped showcase different courses available to our fifth graders as they begin their CTE journey .
What did Trindale Elementary do to celebrate Earth Day?!
Our amazing 2nd graders rolled up their sleeves to celebrate our planet and make our school a little more beautiful. By working together and planting flowers, they showed just how much they care about the Earth—and our Trindale community. Way to go, second grade! Let’s keep working together to take care of our world!
We can't let this week sneak by without giving a huge shoutout to the one and only Rachael Fry in honor of National Assistant Principals Week!
Mrs. Fry is the kind of leader who shows up every single day with dedication, heart, and an unshakable commitment to our students and staff. Whether she’s solving problems behind the scenes, supporting teachers, cheering on students, or just being the calm in the chaos—she does it all with grace and grit.
Thank you, Mrs. Fry, for being such a vital part of our STAR family. We appreciate your leadership, your passion, and your unwavering support more than words can say!
