The Rowan-Salisbury School System (RSS) won two state awards in public relations through the North Carolina School Public Relations Association’s (NCSPRA) Blue Ribbon Awards program.
A panel of communication and journalism experts judged the entries to determine the best in the state.
The district won the NCSPRA Blue Ribbon Awards in the following categories: Annual Report — “Moving Forward - 2010-2011 Annual Report” and Marketing.
This marks the fifth consecutive year that the district received a blue ribbon for the Annual Report. In previous years, judges have complimented the district on the report’s layout, use of color, variety of information and pictures, along with report themes.
The Marketing Award for the district’s Technology Extravaganza titled: “Technology Matters – What’s Right with Public Education” was an opportunity for the district to showcase how the use of technology is important in the lives of students and their education. All 35 schools and central office staff and students shared their technology skills, projects and creativity. The event drew more than 1,000 people, including visitors from across the state, parents, officials and community business leaders.

The grant funding is designated toward outfitting the new central office in downtown Salisbury by providing funds for furniture and fixtures in the new facility.
