Alpine School District Selects PhotoShelter to Organize Its Digital Media Library Ahead of District Split

Alpine School District is the largest public school district in Utah, serving more than 80,000 students across a diverse collection of schools and communities.

The district’s Communications team tells the stories of students, educators, and schools while helping families, employees, and community members stay informed and connected. Their mission is to build trust through clear communication and authentic storytelling, while making sure people across the district have access to timely, accurate, and engaging information.

As Alpine School District prepares to split into three new school districts ahead of the 2027-2028 school year, the team chose PhotoShelter to help organize its digital assets before that transition.

The challenge: Organizing years of school stories before a major transition

With the district preparing to split into three new districts, Alpine needed more than basic cloud storage.

Tools like Google Drive and other cloud-based systems helped somewhat, but they weren’t built for long-term organization, search, and distribution at the scale Alpine needed.

“Ultimately, we wanted a solution that would help us spend less time managing assets and more time telling stories.”

Building one searchable media library for every school story

With PhotoShelter, Alpine can organize its growing media library, make photos and videos easier to search, and give the Communications team a more reliable way to work together.

“PhotoShelter stood out as a platform built with the needs of communications and marketing teams in mind. We were particularly drawn to its combination of digital asset management, search functionality, metadata capabilities, and the ability to securely share content with internal and external stakeholders.”
