Nominations for NSPRA's Superintendents to Watch and Emerging Leaders Award are due soon. Nominate a deserving colleague (or yourself!) to receive national recognition.

Explore award-winning campaigns, social media plans, videos and more from school districts across the country to help inspire your own plans for celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month (Sept.15 - Oct.15) in your school district.

Each year, NSPRA recognizes up to 25 district leaders as Superintendents to Watch. Honorees are superintendents who have fewer than five years of experience as a superintendent and who demonstrate dynamic, fast-paced leadership with strong communication at its core.

Enrollment is now open for three of the 2024-25 NSPRA Academy tracks, designed exclusively for school communicators in the early or mid stages of their school public relations career and superintendents without communication staff!

“Dirk is a true leader in school communications,” said NSPRA President Trent Allen, APR. “His dedication to strengthening the connection and engagement between schools and communities is driven by his passion for student success.”
