The CareHawk Advantage
Shaping the Future of School Safety, Together.
Trusted by K-12 Districts
For over two decades and through more than 10,000 school partnerships, CareHawk remains guided by a single, unwavering purpose: creating safer spaces through clear, reliable communication. Every student, educator, administrator, employee, and visitor deserves to feel safe, supported, and prepared during the routines of a normal school day and in the moments when clarity and speed can save lives.
Your Partner Today, Tomorrow, and Beyond
CareHawk’s roadmap is intentionally future-focused while addressing the legacy infrastructure realities schools face today. CareHawk builds long-term partnerships with K-12 districts. We help design communication foundations that perform under pressure, scale, and support safety and learning.
We design solutions that bridge legacy and modern technologies, ensuring districts are not forced into costly rip-and-replace decisions or left vulnerable due to aging technologies. We build trust, resilience, and confidence. When communication is clear and schools are prepared, communities are safer. That is the CareHawk Advantage.
Industry Stewardship
CareHawk’s role in the broader school safety community further reinforces why districts choose us as a partner
We commit our expertise to shaping the evolution of safety standards as a contributing member of the Communications Technical Committee with the Partner Alliance for Safer Schools (PASS). PASS is a widely adopted and respected, vendor-agnostic organization that guides K-12 districts in building comprehensive, tiered safety strategies.
PASS invited CareHawk leadership to help shape best practice safety frameworks, recognizing our subject matter expertise in scalable school communications. Our contributions to the latest 7th Edition of the PASS Guidelines reinforce that CareHawk solutions align with nationally recognized standards.
Digital Integrity
A defining element of the CareHawk Advantage is our approach to cybersecurity
When presented with the option to rely on insurance or to build cybersecurity into our platforms from the ground up, we chose the more challenging, yet responsible, path.
CareHawk proactively invests in independent cybersecurity system audits, penetration testing, and ongoing vulnerability assessment. The goal is simple: ensure that our solutions never introduce risk into a school district’s network.
This decision reflects our belief that being a partner means protecting districts from vulnerabilities, not exposing them to new ones. We believe that is the difference between a true partner and just another vendor.
Cybersecurity at CareHawk is a commitment rooted in integrity and accountability, because a safety system that creates digital risk undermines the very trust it is meant to provide.
Communication is the foundation of preparedness and better outcomes
From daily announcements and schedule changes to urgent lockdown and emergency alerts, communication is what keeps schools operating smoothly and enables confident, coordinated responses under pressure.
That belief is why CareHawk systems support thousands of schools and facilities across North America, helping protect the environments where people learn, work, and grow.
CareHawk was honored by the School Safety Advocacy Council for its outstanding contributions to improving school safety with the 2025 National School Safety Partnership Award.
“Thousands of districts trust us with the backbone of their safety communications, and that trust is earned every day through thoughtful design, integrity, and long-term commitment.”
— Rami Michael, President & CEO
A Vision Anchored in Safety
CareHawk’s leadership combines 125 years of school communications experience with a passion and vision for school safety, providing administrators with a trusted, experienced team that ensures their schools are equipped with dependable and effective safety technologies.
As President and CEO, Rami Michael champions a clear mission: to ensure that communication technology is anchored to a proven intercom and public address foundation that empowers emergency response and supports a safe learning environment.
His vision emphasizes long-term district partnerships by delivering on a technology growth plan that builds on existing communication infrastructure investments.
“As an elected School Board Trustee of 35 years, I can say with confidence that school safety starts and ends with communication you can trust. If a system isn’t reliable, intuitive, and built for real-world school environments, it will fail when it matters most.”
— Salvatore Marinello, VP of Sales and Former School Board Trustee
Single Pane of Glass
That same mindset is embedded in CareHawk’s product strategy. Under the leadership and experience of Stacie Dinse, Director of Product Management, CareHawk continues to reinforce a core principle: effective districtwide safety communication starts with a strong intercom and paging foundation, enabling broader systems to be unified and managed through a single pane of glass.
“We believe that core communication systems shouldn’t be isolated tools. They should be the foundation that schools can build on, connecting legacy infrastructure with modern safety and notification technologies in a single pane of glass.”
— Stacie Dinse, Director of Product Management and PASS Technical Committee Member
