Resources for School Communication Professionals

Each year, NSPRA celebrates School Communicators Day on the second Friday in May in recognition of the incredibly valuable work of school public relations professionals. In 2024, School Communicators Day is Friday, May 10.

This year, in addition to celebrating our members and school communicators, NSPRA is also using School Communicators Day as an opportunity to continue providing district leaders and education professionals with further insights on the role of school communicators.

This spring, NSPRA is reaching out to superintendents across the country with resources, reports and more to help them learn more about school communicators and your immeasurable value to your school system and communities.

We hope you'll take some time to celebrate yourself this year. We get it: It can be hard to do that! But we hope you'll check out some ways below to get into the spirit of School Communicators Day.
