When Cindy Warner was named the National School Communicator of the Year in 2025, she knew she wanted her platform to be about more than just celebrating successes. She wanted to talk about how school communicators actually survive and thrive in the trenches of school public relations.

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. 

Each April, APR Month highlights the meaning and impact of accreditation in public relations across the profession, and the experiences behind the credential.

NSPRA membership just got even more powerful. NSPRA Plus is the first-of-its-kind, AI-powered on-demand learning library built exclusively for those who plan, lead or help support school communication.

NSPRA Academy provides the training and learning every school communication professional needs at a time when the demands of the role continue to grow and evolve.
