PROJECT GOALS
- Promote a positive, inclusive, inspiring school culture by encouraging Hamilton City Schools (HCS) teachers, students and families to share stories about their experiences at Hamilton
- Encourage a tradition of excellence by recruiting top teachers, garnering collaborations with local businesses, and encouraging families to send their children to HCS
- Generate regional awareness of #HamiltonProud by collecting, writing and circulating video stories that positively portray the experiences of students, faculty and alumni to local and regional audiences
OUR SOLUTION
# HamiltonProud视频运动出现的故事as a way to engage the Hamilton,Ohio community in the stories and successes of their public school district. We began by conducting interviews with current students and teachers as well as alumni. Scripts and storyboards depicted themes of connection, strong student-teacher relationships, and work ethic drawn from these interviews.
After producing the video stories, we wrote the content featured on www.HamiltonProud.org and designed a social media campaign to promote regional engagement and story-sharing, encouraging the wider community to join in the celebration of Hamilton City Schools.
