Lumen Christi: whole-school IT

Education

Every device, every classroom.
One IT partner since 2015.

On Jewel Lake Road in Anchorage, Lumen Christi Catholic High School has been forming students since 1996 — about 140 of them across grades 7–12, with a 100 percent graduation rate and nearly every graduate heading on to a four-year college. Small school. Big standards.

Big standards lean on real technology: managed PCs for staff, Chromebooks and iPads in the classroom, computer labs, and standardized-testing windows that can’t hiccup — all riding on a network that simply has to work. For a school this size, building an in-house IT department was never the practical answer.

So since 2015, Out of a Jam has been that department. We manage the mixed PC, Chromebook, and iPad fleet, train teachers in their own classrooms, deploy and refresh labs, monitor testing, and rebuild infrastructure end to end — including complete network replacements and ISP transitions. Whatever the school year throws at the network, it’s handled.

Lynx School District Deployment

School District Deployment
Lynx – Apple – LKSD

Deploying thousands of Apple devices is only part of the job. During this engagement, Out of a Jam Solutions prepared, enrolled, asset tagged, cased, documented, and organized 5,792 Apple devices across multiple student and staff deployment workflows. Every device was returned to its original shipping group with complete serial number and asset tracking, giving the district a deployment-ready inventory from day one.

Large deployments rarely go exactly to plan. Early in the project we encountered wireless infrastructure problems, DHCP failures, and MDM failures that fundamentally broke the process. Rather than treating these as customer issues outside our scope, we worked alongside district IT to troubleshoot, remediate, and redesign the enrollment workflow to make it work.

That deep engineering expertise continued after enrollment. We generated complete asset inventories, used the Jamf API to automate asset reconciliation, and produced import-ready datasets linking every asset tag with its corresponding serial number. The result wasn’t just the minimum checklist from the start; it was a clean, accurate Apple management environment that district staff could immediately begin administering. Our experience extends beyond device provisioning into Apple infrastructure, identity, networking, automation, and enterprise fleet management, allowing us to solve the technical problems that often determine whether large deployments succeed.
