Campus communications and technology, planned around the academic calendar.
Your teachers are exceptional. Your students do remarkable things. But a prospective family meets your school first on a website built for a previous head of school — and a grandparent meets it for the first time watching a graduation stream that cuts out during her granddaughter’s name.
The auditorium sound, the signage, the livestream, the emergency intercom, the accessibility of your website — these were assembled over twenty years by whoever was available, funded by whichever grant came through, and nobody owns them.
Tomahawk Media Group designs and supports the communications and technology systems that connect your students, their families, your faculty, and the community you depend on. We assess it, design it, install it during summer, train your team, document it, and stay through every graduation after that.
Not four vendors the Head of School has to coordinate.
Every recommendation ties to inquiry, tour, enrollment and retention — with the business case documented for the board.
Budget season, summer installation and go-live before the first day. We plan around the academic year because we understand it.
Clear scope boundaries from the first conversation.
Website and content measured against WCAG standards, and exposure surfaced responsibly.
An institution-wide communications and technology capability, sequenced to the academic and capital calendar.
Paid discovery · 4–6 weeks
A comprehensive institutional evaluation covering family and community communication; auditorium, gymnasium, chapel and classroom AV; display and signage infrastructure; emergency communication systems and their coordination; network and AV readiness with existing IT; website and digital presence measured against enrollment conversion; content accessibility against WCAG standards; livestream and event capability against the annual calendar; faculty training and turnover impact; student media program capacity; media consent, FERPA and photo release practices; and integration across SIS, admissions CRM and family communication platforms.
Project · phased to the academic and capital calendar
Execution sequenced against budget availability and installation windows, with major work scheduled for summer and winter breaks so classrooms are never the construction site. Every phase carries an identified funding path — operating, capital, annual fund, parent association, athletic boosters, grants or campaign.
Ongoing agreement
System support, faculty training refreshes, event and livestream production across the annual calendar, website and content management, and review with institutional leadership.
Paid diagnosis, delivered as a plain-language findings document and a phased roadmap you can act on — with us or without us. It is a product, not a sales call.
