Each month, the Milwaukee Board of School Directors recognizes an outstanding school, student, staff member, parent, or community member for a display of excellence, achievement, and innovation that may serve as an example to our school district and the entire Milwaukee community.
This month, the Milwaukee Board of School Directors is pleased to posthumously present the “Excellence in Education Award” to:
Master Sergeant Stephen Randall
Milwaukee Public Schools recognizes Master Sgt. Randall for his service and dedication to providing Milwaukee’s youth with exceptional learning experiences. Master Sgt. Randall was an Army veteran and beloved Junior Reserved Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) instructor at Alexander Hamilton High School, where he headed up the program.
In addition to serving our country for 21 years, Master Sgt.
Randall taught at Hamilton for approximately ten years.
During his service, he had a positive impact on countless MPS students. Because of Master Sgt. Randall, Hamilton is renowned for having one of the best junior ROTC programs in the state. As such, Hamilton ROTC students regularly perform at high-profile district and community events.
Master Sgt. Randall was known for going above and beyond for his students and colleagues. His commitment to students went beyond the classroom, and because of that, hundreds of students considered Sergeant Randall a mentor.
Many people say there wasn’t anything Master Sgt. Randall wouldn’t do to help a student succeed—whether that was helping prepare them for a career in the armed services, for other careers or simply for success in life. One student said, “He taught me a lot of lessons and how to treat people, how to respect them.”
Not only did Master Sgt. Randall impact his students, but he also had a significant influence on the Hamilton school community. He was just as dedicated to his colleagues as he was to his students. Many of his peers say he was focused on building staff morale. Staff Sergeant Christopher Dixon worked closely with him and said, “He didn’t hesitate to go out of his way to be able to take care of you.”
The Milwaukee Board of School Directors and the entire school community posthumously recognize Master Sergeant Stephen Randall for his dedication, outstanding leadership, and commitment to excellence on behalf of the students of the Milwaukee Public Schools.
