The Bethel Park School District has received three significant awards for excellence in communication in the 2024 PenSPRA Excellence in Education Communication Contest, which highlights school districts from across the commonwealth for their digital and print communication.
Most notably, the district claimed the prestigious Award of Excellence in Writing category for its efforts following last summer’s attempted assassination of President Trump by a former Bethel Park student. It also earned the Award of Merit for its District Profile. It was given Honorable Mention recognition for its Best in Class special projects website, highlighting the new elementary school slated to open in 2026.
Dr. James Walsh shared, “I would like to thank our communications team, led by James Cromie, for its tremendous work on behalf of our school district. His dedication and expertise continue to elevate our communications and strengthen our connection with the Bethel Park community. We are proud of these recognitions, which reflect Bethel Park’s commitment to fostering meaningful engagement and strengthening connections within our school community.”
