Customer Testimonials

We needed that piece that would [allow us to] respond immediately. And we felt this platform, with everything else that it does, was the best option for us.
Jim Fish
Superintendent, North Branch Area Schools, MI

We chose CENTEGIX because we wanted our students, families and staff to have confidence that help can be activated quickly, anywhere on campus, with a reliable solution that meets the needs of our geographically and culturally diverse district.
Clayton Anderson
Superintendent, Elko County School District, NV

Safety and Security is a top priority to our school district. We sought out a system that will help our staff be safe, supported, and empowered. We believe CENTEGIX will offer this by allowing staff members to quickly and discreetly call for assistance. CENTEGIX will be another tool in our school safety toolbox. We plan to use this system as a proactive approach to safety and security.
Jamarr Porter
Director of Safety and Security, Ferguson-Florissant School District, MO

We use it almost every day—if a teacher has an issue with a student or there’s a medical emergency. We don’t have to worry about getting to a phone and calling the office and trying to page someone. [With the badge], we just react automatically and it saves on time. It’s been very helpful…[Teachers and staff] all realize the time it saves them and how they can get help immediately. It’s become something they don’t want to do without.
Mark Hiltunen
Principal (Retired Summer '24), North Branch High School, MI

Student and staff safety remains our highest priority. This investment allows us to proactively strengthen safety practices across our entire district and aligns directly with our board of education’s goal of maintaining a persistent focus on the safety and well-being of our students and staff. We are grateful for the leadership and partnership from San Bernardino County and Supervisor Jesse Armendarez in helping us bring this critical resource to every school.
Miki R. Inbody
Superintendent, Fontana Unified School District, CA

Our previous mobile app didn’t work because there were simply too many places on campus where the service was unavailable. We switched to CENTEGIX because there was nothing else that compared in terms of complete campus coverage and ease of use.
Frank Frangella
Chief of Safety and Security, Martin County School District, FL

Here recently, we're averaging probably two students a week that are having medical issues and we've had to call ambulances in. Our staff have gotten so comfortable that they're really hitting it now…Our response time has been in the seconds, not in the minutes. And it's been fantastic for us.
James Perry
Chief of Police, West Georgia Technical College, GA

The CrisisAlert System was activated by one of our staff pressing his badge which gave notification throughout the school of the cause for concern. In terms of the notification, we heard it over the intercom, the strobes lit up and it came up on the smart boards and monitors in the classroom and throughout the school. We were all made aware, and the teachers responded appropriately.
James Strong
Head of Security, Douglas County Schools, GA

When we've got all these things in place—peace of mind for students, staff, and parents—then we can focus on learning and student achievement.
Dan Chappuis
Superintendent, Colquitt County Schools GA

As a school administrator for over 30 years and a superintendent for 8, I don’t know of a program that has brought me more peace of mind than the CrisisAlert system. We installed this program in all of our schools in the fall of 2023. Recently, while walking through a school, a young teacher stopped me and thanked me for having the system. She told me of a story where a student had a seizure in her class. She quickly utilized the alert system and in less than a minute the administrative team and medical staff were at her door. Due to the quick response, the student was quickly stabilized and later made a full recovery at the hospital. As she relived this experience, she thanked me again for our district investing in this life saving system. I would never start a school year again without the CrisisAlert system.
Dr. Ed Nichols
Superintendent, Madison City Schools, AL

I have used my badge to call for help multiple times, for a student having seizures, and violent behaviors from a student. I have raved and recommended this system to others that work in different school districts. this button makes me feel safe and ready to help in emergency situations. I also have a daughter here at Ike and I am thankful for all staff having their Centegix button ready in an emergency!
Washington High School Teacher

The minute we receive a map in an architectural drawing or PDF is the minute it is out of date! If I have to call an architect or vendor to update maps, I waste time and money. CENTEGIX’s Safety Blueprint is the best of both worlds: we can make updates in real-time, and we don’t have to spend money every time we make a change, like consolidating rooms or adding a mobile classroom. The assessment management and inventory management capability is icing on the cake.
Chris Farkas
Chief Operations Officer, Hillsborough County Public Schools, FL

A student was arguing with another in the hall during class change. The student dropped their bag and was about to start a fight. I stepped in between them and pushed the button to alert admin. The fight was avoided, the student was removed from the situation, and class was able to start on time.
Coweta High School Teacher
Coweta County School System, NV

Our local school district chose CrisisAlert to protect its staff and students and we appreciate the implementation with CENTEGIX. Alert data comes to us through our existing inbound process and does not require any additional software in our PSAP, which makes it easy to implement the solution for our staff.
Christina Mortimer
Director of Communications, Flagler County Sheriff’s Office, FL

Multiple students began a verbal altercation in our hallways and it was escalating to the point where a staff member had to place herself between two upset students. A physical altercation was looming. I pressed my CENTEGIX badge and multiple administrators arrived quickly to deescalate the situation.
Illinois High School Teacher
Jacksonville School District, IL

At Ingenuity Prep, we’ve made it our mission to build a robust culture of safety, backed by cutting-edge tools and systems. Despite our best efforts, we identified a critical gap in the speed and effectiveness of our internal communications during emergencies. CENTEGIX has been a game-changer for us. With its rapid, precise alerts to both administration and staff, we’re able to respond instantly to any situation—whether inside or outside the school. This solution not only enhances the safety of our students but also gives our staff the peace of mind they deserve.
Will Stoetzer
CEO, Ingenuity Prep Charter School

[Before, to make an announcement,] our phones were a problem where you had to dial in four digits, hit star, wait a second, then hit another number. If you wanted to announce an emergency to the whole building, could we do it? Yes. In the case of an emergency, though, that’s tough. [CrisisAlert] is simple in doing that.
Dan Terauds
Principal, Ruth Fox Middle School, MI

We didn’t want to go with a system that would ask our teachers to download an app or have to fumble through a phone or have to run to a panic alert button. The CrisisAlert system is a really small device; it's wearable… and it's inconspicuous.
