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

Offered in partnership with AASA, The School Superintendents Association, the program is designed exclusively for school PR professionals and their superintendents.

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

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.

Findings of a new report published by SchoolCEO, a national education magazine, in partnership with the National School Public Relations Association, reveal that school communication professionals thrive when deeply connected to their district's purpose—and people.
