At Green Level High School in North Carolina, athletics are more than just games. They’re stories, traditions, and memories that define the school community. For Athletic Director Colin Fegeley, the challenge has always been how to showcase those stories in a way that strengthens school pride within students, parents, and alumni — both today and for years to come.
That’s where Gipper Touch comes in.
From Trophy Cases to Touchscreens
Like many schools, Green Level has its share of trophies, plaques, and awards proudly on display in its hallways and facilities. But Colin quickly realized that traditional recognition has limits.
“Trophy cases are obviously super cool… but they don’t really tell stories. You can see the year and the sport, but you don’t know who was on the team, what their journey was, or what made that season special.”
With Gipper Touch, Green Level can bring those trophies — and the people behind them — to life. A student, alum, or parent can walk up to the display, tap on a championship, and instantly explore team photos, player highlights, season stats, and more.
It’s not just recognition — it’s storytelling.
Solving the Space Problem
Even though Green Level is a relatively new school, Colin is already experiencing the real-estate problem: wall space runs out, trophy cases overflow, and hard-earned awards end up in storage (or worse — thrown out).
“Even as a young school, I’ve noticed we’re going to have to start making decisions soon about what stays and what goes. Any type of digital recognition will be really important as we move forward.”
With a touchscreen experience, schools never have to choose which memories to preserve. Every athlete, every season, every championship has a permanent, accessible home.
Preserving History for Generations Beyond Athletics
What started as an athletics initiative is already inspiring Green Level’s fine arts and academic programs to think about their own digital recognition displays.
“My principal talks about the three A’s: academics, athletics, and arts. I can see a future where we have a Touch experience for each pillar, all across campus, working together to build a digital experience for our community.”
These digital experiences also work to preserve school history across all departments. The special memories and events that are unique to a school can all live within a digital experience so they're never forgotten.
“High school is such a short window of life, but people look back on it fondly. Without a system like Gipper Touch, those stories get lost. This is how we can record our school’s history moving forward.”
Why Gipper Touch is the Choice for Green Level
For Colin, the decision to go with Gipper Touch came down to three main things:
- Software familiarity. As a Gipper user of six years, Colin is super familiar with the platform — he doesn't have to learn a new software or add a new tool to his tech stack.
- Hardware flexibility. Gipper Touch works with multiple different hardware providers. Colin was able to select the touchscreen that worked best for his space and his budget.
- Design control. Gipper Touch is fully integrated with Gipper's content creation suite, so Colin has the professional graphic templates and customization tools he needs to keep his touchscreen experience looking fresh and unique to his school.
"The flexibility, the affordability, and the ability to keep it really fresh and constantly updated is going to be a game-changer in this particular space."
For Colin and Green Level, Gipper Touch isn’t just a nice-to-have. It’s a new way to connect past, present, and future generations of students — all from one fast & easy platform.
“This isn’t just a digital trophy case. It’s a way to tell stories, preserve memories, and create a digital campus experience that will last for years to come.”
