The SWRHS JROTC Rifle Team has been improving all semester. They competed against 47 other teams in the 4th Brigade (6 states) and placed 16th. That earned them a spot in the Brigade Best of the Best, where they competed with the best 22 schools. As a team, SWRHS JROTC Rifle placed 16th. Our athletes all scored at the top end of their usual scores. Our Team Captain, Riley Clapp, ranked 14th out of over 150 competitors, and Madison Ligon scored a personal best. She began this sport in August. Great job JROTC Rifle Team!!



The Randolph County School System was recognized last week at the CTE Directors’ Fall Conference for our students earning 9,443 credentials during the 2024–2025 school year, placing us 8th in North Carolina among 115 PSUs. It is worth noting that the seven school systems ahead of us each serve well over 20,000 students. This accomplishment also reflects an impressive increase of 2,074 credentials from the 2023–2024 school year.
Our school system also achieved a credential attainment rate of 72.45%, representing the percentage of credentials earned out of those offered. Both the total number of credentials earned and our attainment rate for 2024–2025 are the highest in our school system’s history.
A BIG THANK YOU to our students, CTE staff, counselors and administrators who play a vital role in CTE program development and in making credentialing a natural and expected part of their campus culture. While not every credential directly impacts future job placement, each one contributes to building student skills, knowledge, and résumé strength.
