Each year, NSPRA’s highest honors recognize individuals whose leadership, mentorship and service have made an enduring impact on the school communication profession. This year, NSPRA is proud to celebrate three distinguished honorees whose contributions continue to shape the field and inspire those who serve it.

As we celebrate School Communicators Day 2026, we’re pairing recognition with something just as important: opportunities to learn, connect and grow in your role.

The challenge with school surveys usually isn’t collecting responses. It’s designing questions that turn feedback into usable insight. When questions lack clarity, the data lacks clarity. And when the data is unclear, decisions start relying on assumptions.
 

This April marks my first APR Month, and it feels surreal. After all, it was only a year ago that I finally broke through my fears and trepidations and earnestly began the climb to the APR summit. 

NSPRA is seeking candidates for the appointed role of vice president at large for advocacy, a two-year Executive Board position focused on strengthening NSPRA’s voice and visibility on issues important to school communicators and public education.
