Alumni Engagement The school has a large alumni base (more than 4,400 graduates) but a very small current staff (2-10 employees), creating a clear opportunity for a hosted alumni management and fundraising platform. A purpose-built alumni CRM could automate donor outreach, event tickets, and volunteering sign-ups while integrating with Google Workspace for communications. This aligns with their long history and can boost engagement and recurring giving.
Cloud and Security Their tech stack includes Amazon CloudFront, OpenSSL, Red Hat, and Java, indicating a priority on security and reliability. Propose a security and compliance upgrade package, including FERPA-focused data protection, vulnerability assessment, and managed hosting for the school site and alumni portal. This can reduce IT burden for a small staff while improving uptime and message security.
IT Modernization Front-end signals aging infrastructure with Backbone.js and jQuery; offer modernization services such as migrating to modern frontend frameworks, scalable hosting, and integration with Google Workspace. Provide a low-risk, managed transition with ongoing maintenance, backups, and security patches suitable for a small K-12 school.
Data-Driven Marketing Google Analytics and Google Workspace usage provides a foundation for data-driven marketing and admissions optimization. Deliver dashboards and reports on parent engagement, campaign performance, and admissions funnel; enable targeted communications and event promotion to local families and parish communities.
Strategic Partnerships Ste Jeanne d'Arc's Catholic affiliations (Archdiocese of Boston, St. Rita Parish, Sisters of Charity of Ottawa) offer opportunities for partnerships, grants, and shared resources. Propose grant-writing, foundation sponsorship packages, and a partner program that expands fundraising and community outreach through an alumni network and school events.
