Berkley Schools Communications Department Wins State Award

Gold Medallion Award plaque recognizing Berkley School District for outstanding programs or projects that advance responsible school communications.

The Berkley Schools Communications Team received a Gold Medallion award from the Michigan School Public Relations Association (MSPRA) for the 2023 Bond communications plan, “What if Berkley Schools Facilities Matched Our Award Winning Programs?” 

MSPRA's Gold Medallion Award recognizes outstanding programs or projects that advance education through responsible communication using the four-step public relations process known as RPIE: Research, Planning, Implementation and Evaluation.

Communications Director Jessica Stilger said, “I am honored to receive this award from MSPRA and proud of the work our team did to communicate the Bond proposal to the community. I appreciate the time the judges put in to read through the 20+ page award submissions and share feedback with all applicants.”

The team also received a Golden Achievement Award from the National School Public Relations Association for the same project earlier this year.
