The Pennsylvania School Public Relations Association (PenSPRA) was chartered in 1969. It continues to be one of the largest state chapters of the National School Public Relations Association (NSPRA). Several PenSPRA members have served as NSPRA Presidents and the Chapter is the recipient of more than eight Blue Ribbon Awards.

PenSPRA is divided into three regions, West, Central, and East, and is governed by an Executive Committee of three elected officers: President, President- Elect, and Secretary/Treasurer. Other members of the Executive Board include: West, Central, and East Program Chairpersons, Contest Coordinator, Newsletter Editor, Membership Mentors, Symposium Committee Members, Fundraising Chairs, Reference Librarian, NSPRA Representative, and PenSPRA’s Immediate Past President.

Members of the PenSPRA Executive Board developed the 2022-24 Strategic Plan. 

The Pennsylvania School Public Relations Association strengthens and evaluates the leadership role of the school communications profession, fosters the continual development of its members, celebrates student and teacher achievement, and promotes school and community partnerships in support of education.
