Studies show it takes just seconds for someone to form a first impression of a building. Having clear and professional signage on a school’s campus is important to help create a welcoming environment. With clear messaging, students, staff, and parents will be able to navigate the property with ease and communicate important information about events, policies, and campus buildings. From entrance signs and wayfinding signs to banners and reader boards, the right signage can improve both functionality and the overall appearance of a school.

Our team at Southern Sign Company is a trusted partner for many schools in New Hanover, Pender, and Brunswick counties. We work with administrators to design, fabricate, and install custom school signs for educational facilities. From directional signs to temporary banners, our team has you covered.

Monument Signs

Changeable message signs mounted on a monument sign base are one of the most common school signs. These signs are perfect for sharing important dates and messages. They are commonly installed at the entrance of the school for high visibility. For our project at Rocky Point Elementary School, we created a custom design based on school colors.

We replaced an outdated, faded sign with a fresh monument design featuring West Pender Middle School’s colors, mascot, and a bold, updated layout. Their previous sign was difficult to read from the road and was in need of a refresh.

Monument signs can be customized with a school’s name, logo, colors, mascot, and branding elements to reflect the school’s identity. We work with administrators to create custom signs that set the tone for a positive first impression and reflect school colors. Built from durable materials such as aluminum, brick, stone, or high-density foam, monument signs are designed to withstand outdoor conditions and provide years of reliable performance.

Window Graphics

Window graphics and vinyl signs offer schools a cost-effective and versatile way to upgrade their campus with school colors and logos. First impressions count, and window graphics for your school can make an immediate impact. They are a popular choice for schools with their eye-catching designs and customization.

Custom vinyl window graphics can be designed to fit any window size. These graphics are popular in front offices and on front doors and windows. In addition to enhancing aesthetics, window graphics can improve privacy, display important information, and create a welcoming experience for students, parents, and visitors entering the campus.

Wall Graphics

Wall graphics are an excellent way for schools to transform blank walls into engaging, educational, and visually appealing spaces. They are common in hallways, cafeterias, gyms, libraries, classrooms, and administrative offices. Whether you’re covering smooth wallboards, windows, or concrete blocks, our team can help you design the perfect mural for your space.

Boost school spirit and encourage your students and staff with mission-focused wall graphics. Whether it’s your mascot in full color or your school’s name in bold, oversized letters, these graphics make a statement the moment students walk in. Murals can also bring otherwise ordinary subjects to life, turning a plain hallway or classroom wall into something colorful and engaging. Best of all, they can also send encouraging messages for anyone who passes by.

Desk Wraps

Desk wraps are a great way to bring your school’s branding into the front office in a simple way. Using durable vinyl graphics, we can transform your plain counter into a custom design and display of your mascot, school colors, and name. They are a great option for schools looking to update the appearance of front offices and welcome areas.

From window and wall graphics to entrance signs, signage plays a key role in how a school welcomes and communicates with visitors. Choosing the right combination of signs depends on the layout and needs of your campus.
