As a professional association, NSPRA believes it is important to recognize and honor colleagues and supporters whose efforts and expertise have had a positive and lasting impact on school public relations and education.

We have established a number of special recognition awards that offer a variety of opportunities to honor members and individuals who have distinguished themselves through their dedication, talent and commitment to our mission of building support for education through responsible public relations that leads to the success of all students. These include awards that honor those who have achieved the pinnacle of career success and national visibility as well as those who are the unsung heroes of our profession, who work quietly to mentor colleagues and ensure that effective communication is integral to their school district or organization’s success.

If you know of a colleague who deserves recognition for their dedication to our profession and to education, we encourage you to nominate him or her for one of these special recognition awards. Please review the eligibility information and nomination instructions and note the deadlines for each.
