Case Study: St. Louis University High achieves community-driven bicentennial engagement with Finalsite Posts

How St. Louis University High Incorporates Community-Driven Content with Posts

St. Louis University High, a Jesuit college-preparatory school founded in 1818, celebrated its bicentennial in 2018 and wanted to engage students, faculty, parents and alumni in a yearlong gratitude campaign called #2Centuries2Words. The communications team needed a simple way to collect short, community-driven reflections and multimedia from many contributors without requiring admin access.

They implemented Finalsite Posts to allow users to submit text, photos and video with their existing logins and display entries in a mosaic grid with hover effects and easy sharing. The result was an attractive, scannable “mosaic” bicentennial page that increased participation, showcased community stories, and became a permanent content tool for the school.
