Twin Rivers Unified School District

Embracing Change - NSPRA 2010 Charlotte, North Carolina

From community forums to phone calls, Twin Rivers Unified School District has put communications on the front burner since becoming a unified district in 2008. The work of the district's leadership team and communications department has earned local and national recognition, the latest being the "2010 Leadership Through Communication Award." 

The award annually showcases a school district that exhibits strong communication programs that have enhanced communications for schools and the community it serves, as well as building support for student achievement initiatives. The award covers the United States and Canada, and is jointly sponsored by the American Association of School Administrators (AASA) and National School Public Relations Association (NSPRA). 

Frank Porter, TRUSD Superintendent, and Trinette Marquis, Director of the Communications Department for the Twin Rivers Unified School District, presented to the National School Public Relations Association Conference about the award in July 2010. In addition, Kathy Young, Communications Assistant, presented a Goldmine session on our district's "Welcome and Wellness Fair." 

These are the resources provided at the sessions.
