Statement of Philosophy:

A student is a special gift entrusted to us to teach, inspire, and guide as his or her educational journey begins. We, at A. Philip Randolph, accept our responsibility to provide a comprehensive learning environment which provides the best opportunities for development of the total child. The faculty pledges to teach the basic skills of communication, reading, mathematics, science, social studies, health and physical education.
