DEI Leadership Focus Calhoun has elevated its diversity, equity and belonging agenda with the appointment of a Dean of Diversity, Equity, and Belonging. This positions the school as a prospect for DEI training, inclusive curriculum resources, accessibility auditing, and community engagement programs that can help them advance their DEI roadmap and satisfy stakeholder expectations.

Fundraising and Grants With a solid mid-size independent school profile and demonstrated use of external funding, Calhoun is a strong candidate for fundraising optimization. Opportunities exist to offer donor analytics, grant management software, CRM for donations and campaign reporting, and partnerships around annual giving and capital campaigns.

Analytics and Data The current tech stack includes analytics and data privacy tools (Piwik PRO Core) and digital marketing components (Facebook Pixel, Open Graph, Twitter). There is potential to provide analytics optimization, data governance and privacy compliance services, marketing automation, and CRM integrations to improve enrollment marketing and oversight.

Student Experience Modernization Calhoun emphasizes a progressive, creativity-driven student experience. This creates opportunities to offer modern student information systems, learning management systems, digital portfolios, parent portals, and after-school enrichment tech that streamlines enrollment, scheduling, and student engagement; with the school’s theatre program there is also room for arts education partnerships.

Leadership Transition A long-tenured staff retirement and ongoing leadership changes signal a need for professional development, succession planning, and recruitment solutions. Sales opportunities include leadership coaching, staff development programs, and implementation of hiring and onboarding systems tailored to independent schools.
