LITTLE ROCK, Ark.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apptegy, the K-12 communications platform partner to more than 5,250 school districts nationwide, today congratulated 114 partner districts recognized in the National School Public Relations Association's (NSPRA) 2026 awards program. Collectively, the districts earned nearly 400 individual awards this year, including three Gold Medallion Awards \u2014 NSPRA's highest honor for educational public relations programs.<\/p>

\nNSPRA's awards program recognizes excellence in school communications across three tiers. This year, three Apptegy partner districts won Gold Medallion Awards, 23 won Gold Achievement Awards, and 87 were recognized with Publication and Digital Media Excellence Awards.<\/p>

\nThe honorees will be celebrated on stage at NSPRA's 2026 National Seminar, held July 19\u201322 in New Orleans, Louisiana. Apptegy will be on-site throughout the conference to cheer on its partner districts and connect with school communicators from across the country.<\/p>

\n\u201cIt\u2019s an incredible honor to work alongside so many superintendents, communication professionals, and others within their districts who make a difference in their communities every day,\u201d said Bob Butler, CEO of Apptegy. \u201cOur partner districts embody the spirit of community connection through education, and this recognition from NSPRA reflects the creativity, dedication, and ultimately impact that they bring to their work every single day. We love supporting our clients and truly believe that their mission is our mission.\u201d<\/p>

\nThat impact is echoed by the district communicators behind this year\u2019s winning campaigns. \u201cCompanies like Apptegy have allowed us to streamline our communications into a single app,\u201d said Bill Good, chief of communications for Denver Public Schools, whose SchoolChoice campaign earned a 2026 Gold Medallion. \u201cThis dramatically improves the communications experience with our families, which directly impacts recruitment and retention.\u201d<\/p>
