Exclamation Re-Organization of our Team

Hi CD,
I am currently the Team Captain of our team and I am looking to restructure it. I understand that I will not be able to do everything I want to do in one year but I would like to at least get the restructuring started.
Our Problems:
-Communication
Within the team:
We have a facebook group that updates but about half the information is not relevant to important team matter so information is often overlooked
Outreach:
We do "a lot" but the general community knows nothing or little of FIRST/FRC/FLL.

-Internal Structure
We are in the middle of shifting the power to a more student lead and controlled team ( we used to be be a mentor student balance type thing). We have A team captain and sub-team captains who "manage" their teams.

-Organization
...There is some.....

-Sustaining the quality of the team
We have the "junior class drop" approaching where most of our knowledge and major passion for FIRST/FRC is in the junior class which graduates next year.


-Building new relations:
We have mentors who help with their connections and a PR volunteer who also helps out, but thats about it with direct contact. We usually try to build new relationships during outreach events

Questions:
What can we do to improve communications?
Are there any ideas for structuring a student lead team?
Are there any ideas for organization systems for knowledge, items, history,etc.?
What can we do to help keep our team at a high-level/sustaining?
Who/where/how can we build relations and with who?
And any advice anyone would like to offer.

Thank you so much!
-Kai
