Welcome to the National Promotion page of HighSchoolStage.com. This page is designed to introduce you to the site and to answer any questions you may have about the site and it's purpose.

INTRODUCTION
My name is Keith Bogle and the I am the man behind the development of HighSchoolStage.com. This site was first developed for free use by the high schools in my hometown of Murfreesboro, TN., as a central site to post and advertise their stage events to the public. To view that site, please click the link below -

www.highschoolstage.com/Murfreesboro

Just as quickly as the original Murfreesboro site developed, the idea to make it available to individual high schools (as well as towns) across the nation came to mind, so I am now offering this site in two forms:

              1) A "YourSchool" site for individual schools (click HERE for a sample site).
             
              2) A "YourTown" site for multiple schools (Click HERE to see the Murfreesboro site).
 

► Who's eligible for a site?
Any high school, public or private, is eligible. So long as you have an on campus stage area with student     led performances open to the public.
 

► What do you consider a "stage event"?
A stage event can be anything from a play to a fashion show. So long as it is:
       • school sanctioned
       • student led
       • open to the public
 

► But my school already has a web site and I post our events there.
If that's the case, good point. Even if you already have a web presence through your schools site, perhaps a "highschoolstage.com/YourSchool" or a "highschoolstage.com/YourTown" site will enhance your groups presence in the community further.

I've seen alot of school sites and it's been my experience that many of them don't have the resources to maintain them properly and keep them up-to-date with everything going on. Whether it be a man-power, software, hardware or a time issue, it just doesn't happen. And these are ALL good schools with good teachers and administrators, it just happens that [I imagine] maintaining a school wide web site can be cumbersome and often the resources simply aren't available. That being said, that doesn't mean that school groups have to "go without" when it comes to a good web presence like you can have with a "highschoolstage.com/YourSchool" or a "highschoolstage.com/YourTown" site.
 

► What's the difference in a "YourSchool" site versus a "YourTown" site?
A "YourSchool" site is for your school and your school alone. At your "YourSchool" site you can post any stage event occurring at your school from any and every department, whether it be a play, a choral presentation, a fashion show, or whatever. Click HERE for sample site.

A "YourTown" site is the same as a "YourSchool" site except that it not only lists your school and it's events, but all participating high schools in your town and their events. This was the initial idea when I first created this site for my hometown schools and offered it free of charge (with a "sponsors" page). Click HERE to see the Murfreesboro site. This is a great way to share your stage schedule with other schools and your town! Your school will only pay for it's postings, and other schools will pay for theirs.

► What do I get with a site?
1) You get your own "highschoolstage.com/YourSchool" or "highschoolstage.com/YourTown" web address. To keep things simple for me and cost effective for you, I use the same template for each site (see samples). Once you have your site established, you can share your easy-to-remember web address whenever you want from memory, post a link at your schools main page or embed a link in your e-mails!

2) A recent feature I've added is an "E-mail Updates" feature. This was added after I realized that without an alert system, the whole concept of "HighSchoolStage.com" was just a web site. With this added feature, interested parties can sign-up for e-mail updates so they will be made aware of EVERY upcoming high school stage event at your school or in your town as soon as it's posted here. The "E-mail Updates" feature is optional and costs a little more. (NOTE: If you received a promotional e-mail prior to September 26th with costs included, the cost has changed with this optional added feature.)

3) A "High School Stage" icon to use at your school site.
 

► How can I get more information on how to  register my high school and/or town?
