Computer Science and Interactive Media Pathways

A pathway program is designed to expose students to a focused series of courses that will further prepare them for colleges and careers. These courses help students connect learning in the classroom with real-world application. By selecting a four-course sequence in a pathway, students will pursue an area of interest similar to a college major.

Randolph High School is pleased to make two new pathways programs available to students: a Computer Science and Programming Pathway & an Interactive Media Pathway. More information about these programs can be found here and at the bottom of the page in the Pathways report presented to the Board of Education.

Computer Science and Programming Pathway

The Randolph Pathways Program will offer students themed electives that will provide a rich background in a particular area of study while also establishing a foundation for a potential college major or career path. Pathways programs in Randolph will be open to ALL students with no GPA requirement. Students who complete a pathway program will receive on their transcript a note indicating program completion and also a letter describing the pathways program they took and the list of courses that were taken to complete the program. If students apply for college admission before completion of a pathway program, their application packet will still include program information but will be noted as being “in progress."

Students interested in registering for a pathways program should first discuss with their counselor than apply using this application link.
