Holy Family Catholic Regional Division

“Halo has been working effectively, resulting in safer spaces for our students. This investment is far outweighed by the safety benefits it brings to our schools.”

Zachary Silva, Secretary-Treasurer for Holy Family Catholic Regional Division

Strengthening school safety

To address vaping and other safety risks, HFCRD deployed Halo Smart Sensors in restrooms, locker rooms and other key areas throughout its schools.

Vape and THC detection

Instant alerts help staff respond when vape or THC is detected, supporting a safer learning environment.

Air quality monitoring

Continuously checks for smoke, VOCs and particulates to help maintain healthy indoor air conditions.

Aggression detection

Recognizes elevated noise or aggression to help staff de-escalate potential incidents early.

Tamper detection

Sends real-time alerts if the sensor is tampered with or removed.

Challenge: Stopping vaping hotspots

HFCRD faced increasing vape use in unsupervised areas like restrooms and locker rooms. Without detection technology, staff relied on routine checks and student reports, leading to inconsistent interventions and missed incidents. The lack of real-time data made it difficult to verify activity, communicate with parents or respond quickly, ultimately impacting both student well-being and staff efficiency.

Solution: Proactive detection

Halo Smart Sensors deliver real-time alerts, empowering staff to act faster while reducing manual supervision.

  • Real-time vape and smoke detection

    Halo detects vape and smoke events in real-time and alerts staff, allowing them to respond quickly without the need for constant hallway patrol.

  • Aggression and behavior detection

    By identifying loud disturbances or aggressive tones, Halo helps staff intervene before conflicts escalate.

  • Data-backed response and trust

    Detailed reporting supports fair discipline and strengthens communication with families and guardians through fact-based conversations.

Result: Major drop in vaping incidents

After implementing Halo Smart Sensors, HFCRD saw a 70% reduction in reported vaping incidents. Aggression detection helped staff address potential altercations before they escalated, while environmental monitoring proved essential during wildfire season. With actionable insights, the division optimized sensor placement and shared success strategies with neighboring districts, reinforcing its commitment to safer schools.
