Case Study: Cardinal Gibbons High School achieves a smooth, student-powered 1:1 rollout with Finalsite

Cardinal Gibbons High School - Customer Case Study

Cardinal Gibbons High School in Raleigh faced the common but complex challenge of launching a true 1:1 program—balancing research, training, device selection and the logistics of distributing 800 laptops while ensuring faculty, students and parents were supported and prepared. The school needed a sustainable support model to make the transition manageable and effective.

CGHS trained staff up front and formed S.T.A.R.S. (Student Technical Assistance Resources), a student-run help desk that configured devices, staffed support before/during/after school and assisted at parent events. The student team eased the IT workload, ensured a smooth rollout, improved user confidence among parents and faculty, and became a valued part of the school’s culture of leadership and service.
