ASHEBORO — Randolph Community College expressed appreciation for now-former board of trustees member Brooke Schmidly.

Schmidly has left the board upon her appointment as deputy secretary of state.

“She’s stepping down but leaves a lasting legacy of leadership,” according to information from RCC.

At a mid-September board of trustees meeting, Schmidly was presented with an official portrait from RCC after seven years on the board. The community college praised her for “dedication, vision and expertise — from her distinguished legal and military career to her deep community involvement — have strengthened RCC’s mission and enriched the lives of our students and community.”

Schmidly, once an attorney at Moser Schmidly & Roose practicing civil litigation, was sworn in as a district court judge in 2019 for District 19B, which serves Randolph County. Then, she filled a vacancy upon James Hill’s election as Superior Court judge.

Schmidly has had past involvement with the Randolph County Bar Association.
