Rockland BOCES Communications Team Earns 14 Awards From NYSPRA

The Rockland BOCES Communications Service was honored recently with 14 awards in the New York School Public Relations Association’s 44th Annual Communications Contest, a statewide competition to recognize and celebrate outstanding achievement in educational communications.

Five of the honors were Awards of Excellence, the highest level of recognition; three were Awards of Honor, the second place level of recognition; and six were Awards of Merit, the third place level of recognition. A total of 150 awards were earned statewide. The 14 awards garnered by the Rockland BOCES team are the most awarded to a BOCES or single school district in New York State.

Earlier this year, the Communications Service earned a record 24 communications awards in the National School Public Relations Association's 2023 Publications and Digital Media Awards for strategic messaging on behalf of our local school districts and Rockland BOCES.

The Rockland BOCES Communications Service is led by Director of Communications Scott Salotto and includes the talents and skills of Michelle Calcaterra, Gina Carbone, Jen Citrolo, Jonathan Clark, Bridget Clark, Ashley Columbia, Jacqueline Dodrill, Madeline Girandola, Michele Kessler, Francesca King, Meg McCluskey, Emily Neary, James Phillips, Hailey Robertson and Trisha Sullivan.
