History
The efforts to create a high school began after the district was notified by the Dover School District in 1957 that Randolph students would no longer be accepted at Dover High School for the 1960–61 school year. The partially completed school opened for grades 7–12 in September 1961 on a 29-acre (12 ha) site and was constructed at a cost of cost of $1.75 million (equivalent to $17.8 million in 2023) for students from Randolph and those from Jefferson Township, who attended as part of a sending/receiving relationship until the 1964–65 school year, when Jefferson Township High School opened.
The current high school facility opened in October 1975, having been constructed at a cost of $7.2 million (equal to $40.8 million in 2023), at which point the original 1961 high school building was repurposed as Randolph Middle School.

This 1,200-student high school in Morris County, known more for its performance on the athletic field than off, may not have the recognition factor of some other schools, but it has in fact been gathering laurels in academic subjects and extracurricular activities as well as sports for most of its 30 years.
