For more than 50 years, NSPRA has honored the best work in school communication through our National School Communication Awards program. And this year, we've opened the submission window early to provide you with more time to submit your best school communication work!

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.

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.

Submit a session proposal and/or apply for a scholarship to attend the largest communications-focused professional development event for school public relations professionals and education leaders.

From satellite phones and two-way radios to visiting student homes and setting up camp at a local radio station powered by generators, school communicators in districts throughout the southeastern United States found themselves providing more than just critical updates to their school communities during two hurricanes. For many, the information served as a lifeline as they navigated fear, loss and uncertainty.
