Howard-Suamico School District Earns Awards of Excellence for School Communications

The Howard-Suamico School District (HSSD) was recently honored by the Wisconsin School Public Relations Association (WSPRA) with the following awards:

• Referendum Award of Excellence: Renew & Invest Referendum Campaign
• Writing Award of Excellence: “A Couple of Pirates”
• Special Publication/Project Award of Excellence: Giving Gratitude Campaign 

“Community engagement is a critical component in the success of our school district,” said Damian LaCroix, Howard-Suamico School District Superintendent. “It is rewarding and humbling to have our team’s communications efforts honored by our peers across the country.”

The WSPRA Spectrum Awards were announced at its annual conference November 4, 2021. Spectrum Awards recognize high-quality public relations efforts produced by or on behalf of Wisconsin school districts. WSPRA’s Spectrum Awards are judged by members of other school public relations associations throughout the United States.

“The work submitted by the Spectrum Award winners is a testament to the importance of school communications and community engagement,” said WSPRA President Tracy Habisch-Ahlin. “Projects submitted were a result of work completed during the 2020-21 school year, which was challenging due to COVID. The award winners demonstrated the critical role communication professionals play in education.”
