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 site and was constructed at a cost of cost of $1.75 million (equivalent to $ million in ) 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 $ million in ), at which point the original 1961 high school building was repurposed as Randolph Middle School.
