From a record number of nomination submissions received this year, 25 superintendents from around the country were selected for the honor.

Announced at the 2024 National Seminar, NSPRA's Emerging Leaders Award annually recognizes up to seven individuals who have no more than five years of experience working in school communications for demonstrating excellence and leadership in their work.

Growing up in a low-income neighborhood, I learned the value of education early. I’ve seen firsthand how connections created through family engagement and effective school communications can elevate the success of students and communities alike. 

School communication professionals and education leaders can access discounts on NSPRA membership, exclusive school PR resources, professional learning programs and more through December 31 with NSPRA's Year-End Savings event!

From pre-crisis planning to post-crisis recovery, the Crisis Communications track of NSPRA Academy offers a comprehensive framework to help school communicators anticipate challenges, build trust and lead with confidence.
