The Council of the Great City Schools’ monthly digital newsletter, the Urban Educator, recently received an Award of Excellence from the National School Public Relations Association (NSPRA) recognizing outstanding education e-newsletters.

NSPRA’s Publications and Digital Media Excellence Awards program annually recognizes outstanding work in education publications, e-newsletters, digital media programs, radio/TV/video programs, social media, infographics, blogs and websites.

This year the Urban Educator received the top award, the Award of Excellence, in the E-Newsletter (external audience) category.

“It is a team effort to produce the Urban Educator, which reports the latest developments in urban schools across the nation and provides an outlet for Council member districts to showcase their successes and progress,” said Tonya Harris, editor of the Urban Educator. “We are honored and pleased the Urban Educator has been recognized.”
