Welcome to WSPRA - the State's Leader in School-Community Relations!
The Wisconsin School Public Relations Association (WSPRA) is a professional association representing schools, school districts, educational associations, consulting agencies and organizations. WSPRA is a state affiliate of the National School Public Relations Association.
In 2006, WSPRA received NSPRA's Distinguished Chapter Award as the top chapter in the nation for its "commitment to advancing education through strong school communication." In both 2007 and 2008, WSPRA received NSPRA's Distinguished Single Project Award and honorable mention for the Distinguished Chapter Award.
Since then, WSPRA has earned Exemplary Chapter Status from NSPRA each year for its work in providing professional development opportunities to its members.
2012 NSPRA 35 Under Professionals
Congratulations to Stacy Tapp, Director of Communications and Public Information at Racine Unified School District. She was named one of the 2012 NSPRA 35 under 35 Professionals.
The 2012 NSPRA 35 under 35 Professionals were nominated by their NSPRA peers and selected as this year's young professionals, as they have demonstrated leadership and excellence in their school public relations careers. Each recipient will be highlighted in an NSPRA newsletter throughout this school year and the nomination process will begin again in the fall of 2013.
Certificates for this year's selectees will be distributed at the NSPRA Annual meeting in San Diego in July, 2013. All 35 will also be asked to participate in periodic surveys about upcoming NSPRA products and services in the year ahead.
