Rocketship Public Schools is a national non-profit network of public elementary charter schools serving low-income communities.

Rocketship now has 1,300+ team members working in-person and remote across a network of 23 schools in five states. The organization’s previous communication processes and tools no longer aligned with the needs of its growing national and regional teams.

Rocketship partnered with Beehive Strategic Communication to develop a new go-forward communication framework to improve employee engagement and align staff around Rocketship’s mission.
