How high schools can benefit from digital signage
In order to compete with the growing digital communication among teenagers, high schools can use screens in different ways to get the message across.
Digital signage has a lot of practical purposes for a high school but for private and technical high schools competing for top recruits one of the keys to success is making an exceptional first impression. To attract honor students private high schools need to provide state-of-the-art facilities and real-world experience to help their students get into top-notch colleges.

Etched glass and wood plaques are nice, but a more advanced option is to build an interactive experience that tells a story. Donors can use pictures and video to share information about their donation, why they gave and how the money was used to better the institution. This can all be done in an interactive format on a large touch screen enabled display.
To compete with iPods, Twitter, text messages and the barrage of other messages hitting teenagers every minute, schools need to use vibrant and flashy technology to get noticed. What better way than digital signage?
