CRYSTAL COMMENDATION

In February 2018, the PSJA Communications Department earned the coveted Crystal Commendation award during the TSPRA Annual Conference for the “PSJA Student Profiles” campaign. The campaign consisted of a compilation of videos, graphic designs, written articles and social media posts highlighting one special student from each of our five high schools. I contributed to the video aspect of this project, but the entire department worked together as a team to put this together and receive the Crystal Commendation award.
