Preview Day Marketing Toolkit - John Carroll Catholic High School

A Call to Action

Dear Cavalier Families,

We hope this message finds you well. As you know, John Carroll Catholic High School is a nurturing environment that values the education of the whole person; in the model of Christ, academic excellence, and achievements in athletics and arts. We are grateful for your continuous support and the love you show towards our school and students.

As our school grows, we are excited to announce the upcoming Cavalier Preview Day 2023. This event is a fantastic opportunity for interested families to experience the exceptional Catholic secondary education we offer.

With that said, we need your help to spread the word! We understand the power of personal testimonies and we thought, who better to share their experiences than our wonderful families? Please consider referring a friend and use the marketing toolkit we've included below to make sharing easier. You will find an email template, text messaging images, social media images, and general talking points about the school.

Your positive experiences and testimonies are the best endorsement for John Carroll and they provide credible evidence of the excellent work we do here, and the love we have for our students and our school.

Thank you for being amazing ambassadors of John Carroll. Let's spread the word together and make Cavalier Preview Day 2023 the best one ever!

God Bless & Go Cavs!
