2024 SCHOOL COMMUNICATORS DAY CELEBRATED BY NATIONAL SCHOOL PUBLIC RELATIONS ASSOCIATION
Day of recognition honors school communication professionals around the country
ROCKVILLE, MD. (May 10, 2024) – The National School Public Relations Association (NSPRA) is pleased to celebrate School Communicators Day today. Celebrated each year on the second Friday in May, the day recognizes the critical work of communication professionals in school districts and education organizations nationwide, including the more than 2,900 members of NSPRA. These public relations professionals practice two-way communications in an ethical and comprehensive way. They serve as an information liaison between school districts and their communities, help ensure meaningful parental and community involvement in schools, and act as strategic partners to education leaders in support of their districts’ missions and goals.
“School public relations professionals devote a tremendous amount of time and effort to ensure their communications are top-notch,” said NSPRA Executive Director Barbara M. Hunter, APR. “We are proud to celebrate and recognize the crucial communications work done in schools, school districts and other education organizations every day.”
School district leaders are encouraged to celebrate and recognize the communication professionals on their teams today. NSPRA has provided a School Communicators Day toolkit at www.nspra.org/school-communicators-day with easy-to-customize resources for superintendents and school boards.
This year, in addition to celebrating school communicators, NSPRA is also using School Communicators Day as an opportunity to continue providing district leaders with further insights on the role and value of school communicators.
“Today we celebrate school communication professionals across the country,” said NSPRA President Trent Allen, APR. “The work they do each and every day makes a difference in the lives of so many.”
