Several current and former Randolph County School System (RCSS) students and educators showcased their musical talents over the weekend as members of the Greensboro Concert Band, performing in a concert held Saturday, April 18 at Dana Auditorium in Greensboro. The event highlighted not only the musical excellence within the RCSS community, but also the way local educators and students continue to contribute to the broader arts culture across the Triad region. Among the performers was Grant Powers, a proud RCSS alumnus currently completing his sophomore year at the UNC Greensboro School of Music, where he is majoring in Music Performance. He was joined by Jonah Key, a current sophomore at Providence Grove High School, along with several dedicated music educators from across the district. Representing RCSS were band directors and music educators Mr. Beck (Providence Grove High School), Throop Smith (Wheatmore High School), and Mrs. Miranda Walker (Lexington City Elementary School), as well as Mr. Walker, Band Director at Northeastern Randolph Middle School. Together, they performed alongside fellow musicians, demonstrating the strong connection between RCSS music programs and the wider regional arts community. The concert also featured a special moment of connection between generations of musicians, as educators and students performed side by side, highlighting the continuity of musical excellence being cultivated in RCSS classrooms and beyond. These performances reflect the dedication of RCSS music educators and students who not only develop their talents within school programs, but also continue to share their passion and skills with audiences throughout the Triad.

On February 17, competing at Wheatmore High School, Trinity secured the 3A Dual Team State Championship at the North Carolina High School Athletic Association playoffs. Just days later, from February 19–21 at the Greensboro Coliseum, the Bulldogs continued their momentum by claiming the 3A Individual Team State Championship, solidifying their place among the state’s elite programs. This remarkable achievement reflects the hard work, determination, and unity of a talented group of student-athletes. Team members contributing to this championship season include Aiden Burkholder, Addam Bernal, Jeven Palmeri, Stephen Cross, Edgar Vasquez-Mora, Omega Edge, Hezekyah Matson, Simeon Hammett, Trent Walker, Gavin Schaefer, Kenedi Palmer, Haris Idrees, Anees Khan, Nolan Chanthalacksa, Grayson Carroll, JoJo Trahan, Ezekiel Martinez, and Na'gayle Carroll. The success of the program is guided by Head Coach Brandon Coggins, alongside assistant coaches Marcus Sayers and Adam Walker, whose leadership and commitment have helped shape a culture of excellence. In recognition of his outstanding leadership, Coach Coggins was also named the NCHSAA 3A Coach of the Year. Support from school leadership, including Principal Dr. Brian Toth and Athletic Director Robert Mitchell, has also played a key role in fostering an environment where student-athletes can thrive. Trinity’s back-to-back championships are a testament to the team’s perseverance, skill, and Bulldog pride—an achievement that will be celebrated across the Randolph County School System.
