February Update
Grade 2
Lots of joyful learning happening in second grade at North! February brought some fun events, activities, and opportunities for learning. Second graders had a blast celebrating the 100th day of school by dressing up like they were 100 years old! See the first and middle pictures below.
Second graders are diving into the fascinating world of fossils and discovering how they helped us learn about life long ago! Students became paleontologists to make fossil impressions, observe real fossils, and write about their discoveries. See the third picture on the right below.
Student Spotlight: Koral Perello
We are proud to recognize Koral as our Student of the Month! She consistently demonstrates kindness, responsibility and a positive attitude each day. Koral works hard in all subject areas and consistently puts forth her best effort. Koral is respectful towards her classmates and teachers and is a wonderful role model in our classroom.

BUILD Boston at Randolph High School
RHS BUILD Student Winners ~ BUILD Fest Winter Competition
Randolph High School (RHS) proudly congratulates our BUILD students for earning 2nd Place ( Alinny DePina, Haylee Araujo- Cintron, Leonardo DePina & Bryan Vo) and also 3rd Place (Mykie Raphael, Nestor Vallderes and Jordan Jesioanik) at the BUILD Fest Winter Competition, held in Boston on January 22, 2026. Each student received a monetary award.
This achievement reflects the significant time, focus, and dedication our students invested in developing their innovative products. Their prototypes represent true innovation, executed at a high level. The results are a testament to the foundational principles of the BUILD program: communication, collaboration, and problem-solving, to name a few.
A sincere thank you to Mr. Licorish and the RHS administration team for their continued support of the BUILD Program. Your commitment to student centered learning and entrepreneurship plays a vital role in creating opportunities for our students to prepare to succeed in a competitive world.
Congratulations again to our students and the entire RHS community on this outstanding accomplishment.
We look forward to even greater success at the Spring BUILD FEST.

Music Department
The Step-Up Concert held on March 3, 2026 was a wonderful success as the RCMS and RHS bands and choruses came together for a collaborative evening of music. Students were recognized for their festival acceptances, and our RHS juniors proudly received their Music Jr. Jackets in recognition of their dedication to the program.
Most importantly, every ensemble performed beautifully and the students played gorgeously throughout the evening, making it a proud night for our entire music community.
Randolph High School music students Mason Chacon, Vincent Huynh, Brian Lloyd, Luventz Rateau, Azariah Paul, and Brianna Zamor were selected to perform in the prestigious Senior SEMSBA Music Festival this past weekend!
They rehearsed with distinguished guest conductors and performed at Plymouth Memorial Hall, representing the top student musicians from over 30 high schools across Southeastern Massachusetts. Pictures are below.
We are so proud of their talent, dedication, and the way they represented Randolph!
