In 2015, South Pasadena Unified School District (USD) faced a growing realization—their existing network infrastructure was no longer able to support the demands of modern education. This wasn’t just a technical issue; it was an impediment to both learning and school security. Enter NIC Partners, who, through a strategic partnership, completely transformed the district’s infrastructure, bringing in reliable connectivity, advanced security systems, and streamlined communication tools.
South Pasadena USD’s outdated systems couldn’t keep pace with the rapid rise in digital learning demands. The school’s Wi-Fi network was unreliable, and security systems were outdated. Recognizing the need for a complete overhaul, the district partnered with NIC Partners to implement state-of-the-art switches and Wi-Fi solutions, ensuring the district was future-ready.
With over 1,600 security cameras and new communication systems in place, South Pasadena High School became not just connected but secure. The new network ensured that students and staff had reliable access to the digital tools they needed.
What set NIC Partners apart wasn’t just the technology—they worked closely with the school district to ensure the implementation caused minimal disruption to the learning environment. By planning installations around the school calendar, NIC Partners seamlessly integrated the new systems without interrupting day-to-day operations. As a result, South Pasadena USD saw immediate improvements in both security and connectivity, without sacrificing instructional time.
After the upgrades, the district experienced several transformative outcomes:
