Thomas A. Edison High School in Elmira Heights, New York has installed a digital signage package from Rise Vision to help improve emergency response effectiveness and preparation, along with highlighting student achievements, according to a company press release.

Dr. Troy Spetter, director of educational technology at the school since 2018, has helped Edison move away from relying on dated infrastructure and toward web-enabled services, cloud-connected collaboration systems, single sign-on implementation, and a new security and backup model.

Currently, Edison uses three screens with Rise Vision. Two are engaged in student-oriented messaging. The third is located near the school president's office, where visitors, including donors, may be waiting or passing by en route to a meeting with senior school staff. This screen is used to display schedules when no visitors are expected. Content can be tailored to visitors' interests.

The goal for Dr. Spetter is affirming students and tailoring content for visitors. The displays feature a photo rotation chosen by teachers at Edison, showcasing student achievements. Each month, a topic is selected and teachers elect "students of the month" whose achievements relate to the topic.

Established in 1992, Rise Vision has primarily provided digital signage for education, providing displays to more than 3,000 schools.
