Centaurus High School in Lafayette gets new LED Digital Sign

Written by William (Bill) Hayes | Oct 1, 2012 11:30:00 AM

Centaurus struggled for years with an old changeable letters sign. It took about 30 minutes to change one message on their old changeable track message sign, and that message usually stayed up for days. Not a good option, when there are so many activities and functions at the school, that both students and parents need to be reminded of. Not to mention having to walk out in 2 feet of snow to change a message.

Signdealz builds Signature Watchfire LED Message Center Sign for Centaurus High School

In an age of busy schedules for both parents and staff, the new LED message center from Watchfire allows the school deliver as many messages as they need, easily at the touch of a button. In fact the Watchfire Ignite Software is so easy to use, the students at the school control the messaging on the sign. Signdealz provided their complimentary training to all of the school staff as well as the students who were assigned to manage the sign.
