Frenship ISD Communications Team Makes Strong Showing at State Conference

Each year, school public relations professionals from across the state submit examples of their work for the TSPRA Star Awards. With nearly 60 award categories in print, video, digital/electronic, campaigns, and events, the Star Awards provide Texas districts with the opportunity to highlight the work of their communications departments.

Crystal Commendation awards are available for each of the nine categories, with only one overall winner for each. Gold, Silver, and Bronze can be awarded to the projects, but only one submission in each division can win the Best of Category for that specific award category. During the award ceremony, Frenship was recognized as a Crystal Commendation finalist for the Frenship ISD 2024 Bond + VATRE Election and three Best of Category awards, one for an e-newsletter campaign, one for an advertisement, and one for photography.

“Year after year, this team goes above and beyond, and I am so proud of the exceptional service they provide for our Frenship families,” said Tiffany Taylor, Frenship ISD Director of Communications and Community Engagement. “These honors represent only a fraction of the outstanding work they produce to showcase one of Texas’s premier school districts, and we’re thankful to share the powerful stories of our students and staff.”

Frenship’s Communications Department has four members, including Taylor, Marketing and Communications Coordinator Erin Garcia, Multimedia Manager Hannah Morelos, and Communications Specialist Brittany James. Throughout the year, they push out important districtwide updates and information, write stories on student and staff achievements, send out press releases, and produce projects in videography, photography, and print/digital graphic design. They are also responsible for managing the district’s social media, websites, community engagement efforts, sponsorships, and events like the Convocation, the annual Staff Appreciation Banquet, Business Partners Luncheon, and more.

During the 2026 Star Awards Banquet, the Frenship Team walked away with one Crystal Commendation Finalist award, three Best of Category awards, 15 gold, and four silver awards for the work they produced during the 2024-2025 school year.

During the state conference, the communications team also had the opportunity to participate in professional development, collaborate with other districts across Texas, and attend sessions pertaining to public education public relations.

“TSPRA provides a valuable space to collaborate with other districts and strengthen our own school communications efforts,” said Taylor. “We’re always eager to get back to Frenship so we can apply our new ideas as we continue finding innovative ways to serve our Frenship families."
