Dear Randolph Academy School Community!
We would like to share an important update from the New York State Education Department regarding NY Inspires, the state's vision for the future of education. Beginning with students graduating in 2028 and beyond, New York State will move to a single high school diploma and expand the ways students can demonstrate their learning beyond traditional Regents exam pathways.
This change does not lower expectations. Instead, it recognizes that students can show their knowledge and skills in different ways, including projects, presentations, portfolios, and other authentic learning experiences. At Randolph Academy, we believe every student has unique strengths and deserves opportunities to demonstrate their growth and readiness for the future. This vision aligns with our commitment to meeting students where they are while preparing them for success beyond high school. We will continue to share updates as more information becomes available.
Thank you for your partnership and support as we work together to help every Randolph Academy student reach their full potential. As always, thank you for your trust in Randolph
Academy!
Michael Cipolla
Superintendent of Schools
