  • Small School Success in Writing Our Story with John Hannah
    May 27 2024
    1. Many schools are aspiring to grow enrollment these days. Learn why Superintendent John Hannah believes Morton School District is adding students.
    2. In a small district, finding the person and time to manage social media successfully is a struggle. After an internet search, John discovered #SocialSchool4EDU, and he’ll share its impact in his community, including passing their first bond since 1998.
    3. Training your staff on the types of moments to capture is critical. Morton reminds their team to capture active, daily moments - not just the staged, posed photos.
    4. As a leader, John’s best social media tip is to let your staff tell the story. They interact with families and students every day, and they can provide authentic, personal stories that allow the community to truly see what is happening in your school.
