Welcome to our district's page announcing new pathway programs in Computer Science.

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 beginning in the 2018-2019 school year: Computer Science and Programming Pathway & 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

A pathway designed for students with an intense focus on computer science and programming.

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.
