Richland One Communications Team Wins 7 national PR Awards

The Richland One Office of Communications received seven awards from the National School Public Relations Association (NSPRA) for publications and digital media excellence.

Award winners are highlighted on the NSPRA website and they will be recognized during NSPRA’s 2025 National Seminar, which will be held July 20-23 in Washington, D.C.

In May, Richland One’s Communications team received 16 state-level awards for outstanding communications and public relations efforts from the South Carolina chapter of NSPRA (SC/NSPRA).

“We are proud that our Communications team has been recognized at the state and national levels for the work they do every day in engaging our stakeholders, keeping them informed and telling the Richland One story,” said Richland One Superintendent Dr. Craig Witherspoon.
