During nineteen days in June and July 2017, my wife and I visited schools in Washington DC, Raleigh NC, Charleston SC, and Savannah GA, driving between these cities. We also experienced the amazing commercial and tourism enterprise at the Presley family’s Graceland, Memphis TS. My wife was interested in school libraries for her school; and I wanted to see how these schools promoted and positioned themselves in the very challenging ‘Private School’ marketplace in the US, possibly the home of marketing and consumerism. The schools we visited were surprisingly varied in many ways, and the visit has given me a good comparative insight into CCPS’s practices in our strengths, and also with possible ideas to implement.
