About Us
Dear A. Philip Randolph Family,
It is my pleasure to welcome you to Asa Philip Randolph Career Academies. As I begin my first school year as Principal at APR, I am energized and deeply committed to making a positive difference in the lives of your children. We will accomplish this by setting high academic expectations for all children and providing supportive systems to assure they are met. By focusing on a positive school culture, setting high standards for teacher performance, increasing academic expectations for all students and engaging the community, it is our goal at A. Philip Randolph that all students are on track to be college and career ready without mediation.
I encourage you to visit our website and become familiar with the handbook and code of conduct expectations. We welcome your involvement and participation in our great school and look forward to working with you and your student as we strive toward an academically successful 2020-2021 school year. APR’s remarkable staff, involved parents and committed students will come together to make A. Philip Randolph a wonderful, unique place to be.
Respectfully,
Megan McKinney
Principal

2020-2021 APR School Theme
YOU are the Change is this year’s school theme. Mahatma Gandhi famously said, "You must be the change you want to see in the world." In other words, although life changes are inevitable, we can initiate personal change so we can rise to the challenge and become a bigger and better person as a result. I have no doubt that the students at APR Career Academies with the faculty, staff, and parental support can achieve this motto and instill positive change not only for themselves but for the school and community. I thank those of who you took the time to provide feedback about the school theme.
2020-2021 APR Uniform Expectations
Uniforms are an expectation at A. Philip Randolph Career Academies. With this in mind, we have opened a school store! The school store is conservatively priced, and all uniforms will have the APR logo displayed. Additionally, if you purchase uniforms through this site, money is returned to the school and it acts like a fundraiser for the school. Please be aware that the school store will open and close periodically throughout the school year. This is to allow the items to go to the artist for print. All items will be delivered within 3 weeks of the school store closing. The first wave of the school store will open today and will close Monday, July 20th. We will reopen the school store, again, on July 21st for the next wave of purchases. Please keep in mind the items will be delivered 3 weeks upon closing of the store. Please visit the school’s website to obtain the uniform policy in regards to the pant expectation for each academy. We thank you for your support as you plan for this school year.
