Mission & Philosophy

The Chesapeake School Public Relations Association, or CHESPRA, dedicates itself to promoting effective public relations practices within educational institutions across the District of Columbia, Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia. By encouraging the adoption of sound communication strategies, the chapter strives to enhance understanding and support for schools. Through the presentation of accurate information and diverse viewpoints, the chapter aims to bridge the gap between schools and communities, fostering appreciation and engagement. Additionally, the chapter plays a crucial role in developing educational materials that enable schools to communicate their role in public education more effectively, thereby strengthening the vital connection between education and the community.
