This may be the best strategic plan video I've ever seen. With an engaging Ted Talk-like intro, stellar visuals, brilliant use of student voices, and clarity of message, this video kept me engaged and interested throughout and eager to learn more about Rowland Hall and its initiatives.

Yes, please! From the opening moments of this video, I was sitting up straight and excited to watch. Fantastic use of student narrators and not simply the typical adults and senior leaders. Also great use of connecting the campus to the community and the world through language and visuals.

I loved everything about this 50 Years Forward publication! It is visually stunning due to the colorful graphics, generous use of white space, and thematic text elements that originate in the table of contents. I devoured each of the 50 "stories" and how they told the small and large stories of not just a school and its values, but a community of learners, leaders, and creatives as well. Some of my favorite stories involved pancakes, pink socks, and quirky campus spaces, you know those small things that become big memories. Well done, Crossroads!

Andover sets the bar high with all of its communications pieces. This comprehensive look at their investiture and the history behind the event is incredibly well done and informative.
