Case Study: Newark Catholic High School
Business Challenge
Newark Catholic needed a new Website for showcasing their school to prospective new students and for sharing a wealth of dynamic content with their current students, families, and community supporters. They also desired to revolutionize many of their current operations, to move from manual and paper-driven processes toward a modern Cloud-based solution. They had a diverse array of needs that would all benefit from transformation with custom Cloud Applications.
Our Solution
Connected Life Sites created a new WordPress website filled with dynamic content and a wealth of custom features. Cloud-based custom applications were created for managing their volunteer service hours program; for an athletics eligibility system that all the faculty uses each week; for managing athletics schedules, scores, and team photos; for updating the faculty and staff bio’s; a custom calendar with filters for academics or for given sports teams.
An online sports apparel store was provided with WooCommerce, a news blog for key dynamic information, a classroom connections feature for teachers to post information for students, an online donations feature for the NC Foundation, online registration and ticket purchase for the annual auction and other events, and more.
Today, Newark Catholic faculty and staff make their own updates to the content.
