Creating a Brand
Taking their lead from the community input and the work of the strategic planning committee, Sandburg High School Senior Tina Alkayed, Andrew High School Senior Trinity Walker, and President of Five Star Designs Laura Gilarksi set out to create a brand that will represent District 230 into the future. They met regularly via Google Meet with their client, District 230 Director of Communications Carla Erdey. The team sought feedback from district and school administration and ultimately presented the final brand design to the School Board at a public meeting. The students learned important skills that will serve them as they pursue careers in advertising and graphic design.

Strategic Communications Plan
Successful organizations are guided by a strategic plan, which is normally supplemented by plans that include, but are not limited to, financial, facilities, technology, and continuous educational improvement. This Strategic Communications Plan serves as an overarching guide for Consolidated High School District 230 in the area of communication recommendations and strategies. This plan was drafted by the Director of Communications with community feedback and recommendations from a comprehensive Communications Audit conducted by the National School Public Relations Association and data gathered through the Strategic Planning process.
