TPSD virtual tour earns state award

The Public Relations Association of Mississippi has recognized the Tupelo Public School District with a 2008 Award of Excellence.
“We are very proud to win an award of excellence for our virtual tour of Tupelo schools,” said Kay Bishop, the TPSD’s public information officer.
Renasant Bank sponsored the project, produced by Glen Allison of Allison Digital and available at tupeloschools.com.
Bishop picked up the award at a PRAM meeting on April 17 in Hattiesburg.
“PRAM began an awards program in 2003 as a way to recognize outstanding work in the field of public relations,” Bishop said, noting the TPSD previously won an award of excellence for its Ambassadors Voice program.
The significance of the district’s awards, she said, is that the school was competing against projects from businesses that specialize in public relations.
