New Web Site Connects Alumni of Chicago Schools
The Chicago Public Schools recently launched a new webssite to connect an estimated three million people who have attended or worked in Chicago Public Schools, with separate home pages for every school in CPS history. CPS is the first large urban public school district to organize its alumni in this way. Users can search for school records on relatives between 1873 and 1973.
The goal of CPSalumni.org is to build relationships with alumni and their former schools and classmates, engage alumni in supporting their schools, share information about alumni groups and activities, encourage the sharing of stories and photos about school experiences, and archive public education in Chicago.
The site also will enable CPS to continue to build its list of famous CPS alumni, which includes people such as Amelia Earhart, Nat King Cole, and Harrison Ford. Users are asked to complete a free registration form, even if they are not CPS alumni. To see an example of a lively, engaging, and interactive website with a theme, have a look at www.CPSalumni.org.
