Each year, education associations, district leaders, educators, parents and school board members come together with the Learning First Alliance to celebrate Public Schools Week, a time to show the strength of our nation’s public schools.

Join us on July 20-23, 2025, at the Washington Hilton in the vibrant Dupont Circle neighborhood of Washington, D.C., for the largest communications-focused professional development event for school communication professionals, superintendents and education leaders. 

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!

Nominations for the 2025 Barry Gaskins Mentor Legacy Award, Bob Grossman Leadership in School Communications Award, NSPRA Presidents Award and Learning and Liberty Legacy Leaders Recognition are now open.

Propelled by strategic guidance of the Executive Board and the dedication of its staff, the National School Public Relations Association made significant strides forward in 2023-24.
