Case Study: Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools builds early college and career readiness with SchooLinks

Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools prepares 81 schools for August CCR launch with SchooLinks

Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools, one of North Carolina's largest districts, sought a modern college and career readiness (CCR) platform that could meaningfully serve its elementary and middle school learners, not just high school students. Their challenge was to find a solution with robust K-8 features to build a strong foundation for student futures. They selected the SchooLinks platform after a competitive RFP process.

SchooLinks stood out due to its deep expertise and its platform's engaging, age-appropriate K-5 features for career exploration and SEL. The solution provided a clear, phased implementation plan for a smooth August launch, ensuring staff would be confident and ready. By implementing SchooLinks, the district established a cohesive K-12 CCR culture, setting a sustainable pathway for long-term student engagement and post-secondary planning.
