Be on the lookout for nearly two dozen student reporters who will be covering the school events and activities all to inform and engage our students, staff, and families. The Communications Crew will connect via social media platforms, video, and print media.

Social media has become an essential part of our daily lives and has transformed how schools interact with students, staff, parents, and the community. It has provided a platform for schools to share their stories, connect with students, and promote their mission and values. 

Building a strong social media team requires more than just posting content on Instagram or Facebook. It takes careful planning and strategizing to ensure school or district messages resonate with stakeholders. 

The D230 Communications Crew will focus on strategically creating content and engaging with target audiences on different social media platforms. Its main role is to increase engagement by creating content on social media channels that current and prospective students, staff, parents, and community use. This crew will also be responsible for data analysis, community outreach, and more. 

Social Media is the hook to the bigger world of digital communications. Journalism, communications, video production, marketing, photography, public relations, media relations, event planning, and graphic design are all involved in effective social media.

The D230 Communications Crew interns are reporters and storytellers for District 230, focusing on academics, co-curriculars, and special events.

The Crew will gain valuable skills and experience through their work on the social media team, which can benefit them in their future careers. The program will help amplify student voice, develop leadership skills, and increase overall productivity by allowing for more projects to be completed.
