CCSD Wins Three National Awards for Communications The Cherokee County School District has earned its first-ever National recognition for communications by bringing home three awards from the National School Public Relations Association.Each year, the Association, consisting of school communications and public relation leaders and experts from across the nation, honors outstanding publications and electronic media produced by school districts as part of their communications efforts. The School District won a Merit Award for its video, School Closure Decision Process, animated by Etowah High School teacher Brandon Grummer, which was based on a script by Carrie McGowan, the Office of Communications supervisor of strategic planning, community relations and publications. Teasley Middle School Assistant Principal John Carter provided the video voiceover.Two CCSD publications won Honorable Mention awards: the 2016 Annual Report of District Progress, which compiles important achievements and data from divisions and schools; and the 2016 First Day Facts, which provides a snapshot of whats new for the coming school year. It is very rewarding to see the School District, specifically its Office of Communications, receive these honors for our intentional efforts to provide timely, relevant and professional communications with our community, Superintendent of Schools Dr. Brian Hightower said. For us, these awards represent further validation of our philosophy of transparency and quality in the area of communications and public relations!They will be recognized by the Superintendent of Schools and School Board at the August 17 meeting.
