Community Funding Pellston High School’s history of receiving public- and grant-funded support (e.g., $1.6M for electric buses and a separate $2,500 community grant) indicates a potential channel for sponsorships, grant-aligned tech upgrades, and sustainability-focused media projects that can open conversations with district leadership.

Technology Stack With a tech stack featuring Google Workspace, media players, and web security measures, there is an opportunity to offer integrated digital learning and media production solutions, including secure content delivery, training, and customized media workflows for the school.

Growth Potential Operating as a small school with revenue in the lower to mid-range and a recent track record of securing external funding suggests a readiness to scale media production capabilities; sales efforts can target scalable multimedia services, event coverage, and local production collaborations.

Public Engagement Community-focused initiatives such as fighting food insecurity and public communications imply potential demand for outreach videos, student-led media programs, and streaming/event production that strengthens district engagement with residents.

Competitive Positioning Comparing to larger peers like Petoskey High School, Pellston’s smaller size can be leveraged to propose cost-effective, tailored media production packages and hands-on student opportunities, positioning as a nimble partner for customized projects.
