Athletics

The Randolph High School Rams[2] participate in the regional Northwest Jersey Athletic Conference, following a reorganization of sports leagues in Northern New Jersey by the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association (NJSIAA).[9] With 1,195 students in grades 10-12, the school was classified by the NJSIAA for the 2014-15 school year as North I, Group IV for most athletic competition purposes, which included schools with an enrollment of 1,108 to 2,479 students in that grade range.[10] Prior to the NJSIAA's 2010 realignment, the school had competed as part of the Iron Hills Conference, made up of private and public high schools in Essex County and Union County.[11]

The football team won the North II Group III state sectional championships in 1983 and from 1986 to 1989, and won in North II Group IV in both 1990 and 2010.[12] The Randolph football team set New Jersey state records by winning 54 consecutive regular-season and playoff games and going unbeaten in 59 straight games from 1986 to 1991, a record since broken by Paulsboro High School with 63 straight wins from 1992 to 1998.[13] The team's 34-22 win over East Orange High School in October 1990 had broken the state record of 40 consecutive wins, which had been set by Memorial High School of West New York.[14] The 2010 football team won the New Jersey North 1 Group 4 state sectional title, the team's first since 1990.[15]
