Leadership Transition Recent leadership change at Bishop Ward High School, with the President resigning in mid-June, signals potential shifts in strategy and stakeholder communications. This presents an opening for services in executive transition support, change management, branding and donor communications, and identifying new technology or process vendors aligned with the school's mission.
Fundraising Opportunity With modest revenue and a mid-sized staff, investing in fundraising efficiency could yield meaningful returns. Opportunities include donor relationship management, online giving and recurring gift campaigns, event management, and grant tracking. The existing form tools can be integrated into a centralized fundraising system to improve data capture and reporting.
Enrollment Marketing Current digital presence includes CDN hosting, analytics, tag management, and social media, suggesting readiness for enrollment marketing optimization. Potential opportunities: website optimization for lead capture, search engine optimization and marketing, targeted social campaigns, and analytics-driven enrollment funnels to drive admissions and retention while measuring ROI.
EdTech Modernization While the tech stack supports modern web experiences, there is room for a cohesive EdTech ecosystem. Consider a centralized Student Information System, Learning Management System, and parent portal with data integration from forms and marketing systems, plus staff training for adoption and ongoing support.
Security & Compliance Given the handling of student data and regulatory considerations, security and privacy should be prioritized. Proposals include security assessments, FERPA-compliant data handling, backup and disaster recovery, access controls, and potential managed security or compliance services to protect student information while maintaining cost effective IT operations.
