Emergency Alerts At The High School Level

A hot topic over the last 3 or 4 years in higher education has been the implementation of emergency notification systems to ensure efficient delivery of alerts to students and visitors across large campuses.  But what about the High School level?

High Schools tend to be 1 or just a few buildings so it isn’t as complex as a large campus but the need to visually communicate still exists.  As students and faculty roam the halls they need to be informed of changing weather conditions, intruders, or any other hazardous conditions.  What better way than digital signage.

Strategically placed LCD screens can replace static bulletin boards to show the latest events, lunch menus, appreciation to donors, and recognize honor students on a daily basis but at the touch of a button can transform into an emergency alert system when needed.

If you are a high school principal looking to invest in technology to create “wow factor”, improve communication with students, and add another level of emergency communications I strongly suggest investigating digital signage.

    Many use digital signage as a way to inform students what is happening on the campus but is always there “just in case”.
