A school photo library your whole staff can use
Most schools already own years of good photos, spread across phones, inboxes and shared drives. Rocket gives them one library, organized by the years, teams and events your staff already talk about.

Why it matters
Photos live everywhere except where you look
The game shots are on a coach’s phone, the concert came in by email and last year’s graduation sits in a drive one person understands. Every time someone needs a photo, the search starts over.
Ideas for School Photo Library
Folders by school year
Start each year with a top-level folder, then nest seasons, teams and events inside it so the structure matches your calendar.
Event folders named plainly
Use names staff would type, like “2026 Spring Concert” or “Homecoming Parade,” instead of camera dates or file codes.
A caption on the best shots
Write one sentence on who, what and when for the photos most likely to be reused. The rest can wait.
Tags for people and places
Add tags for teams, clubs, buildings and traditions so a search for “gym” or “robotics” turns up every match.
Use-limit tags
Tag photos with use limits so staff spot them before they choose a file for anything public.
Alt text on published picks
Look at the alt text status on images you plan to publish so every visitor gets a description.
How it works with Media Management
School Photo Library, step by step.
Three steps
Set up folders for your school
Choose the site, then nest folders by year, season, team or event. You can rearrange them later when programs change.
Upload events in batches
Drop in a whole event’s photos at once. Titles, captions, tags and dates stay attached to each file.
Search, preview and reuse
Search by title, caption, tag or a short description, preview the photo and its details, then download it or copy a link.
Setups vary by school; your demo confirms what yours will use.

School Photo Library tips
Start with this year, not the backlog
Load the current year’s events first so the library is useful right away. Older years can follow one folder at a time.
Pick one naming pattern
Agree on year, then event, then detail, and write it down where every contributor can see it.
Caption while the event is fresh
A caption written the day after the game takes a minute. The same caption written two years later can take an afternoon of asking around.
Name a library owner and a backup
One person checks new folders each week and a second person knows the system, so the library survives a staff change.

Questions
School Photo Library questions
Rocket gives staff one library with folders for years, teams and events, batch uploads and search across titles, captions, tags and descriptions. Each photo keeps its details, so the next person knows what they’re looking at.
No. Your current storage stays where it is. Upload the photos your team wants to find and reuse, and leave the rest in place.
Pick one recent event your staff will want photos from soon, like a concert or a championship game. Build that folder well, then copy the pattern for the next one.
Access and pricing are confirmed for your Rocket setup in your proposal. Share where your photos live today during the demo so the proposal fits how your school works.
