Spotlights provides you with a quick and easy way to showcase your students, staff, community, special events and so much more.   You can place Spotlights on the front page or on any section and/or sub-section. The location of the Spotlights depends on your SOCS theme.

How do I get started?  
Spotlights is a new access level you need to assign to your Users.  Select Admin, Users then search for the user whom you want to be able to add Spotlights to your site.  Check the box next to Spotlights, then Update User, and they're ready to get started!

What does a Spotlight look like? 

A Spotlight contains a name and description of the content you are spotlighting.  Images uploaded have fields that can be customized for the type of image added.  If you are celebrating people, use the person's name, title and a description of the person.  If you are highlighting a class art project, use the Title as the name of the art piece and the Description for describing the art piece.  

Hover over an image to see the Animation Style.  There are six to choose from!
