HCPS Communications Resource Center

The HCPS Communications Office is responsible for the school system’s public relations and communications efforts including marketing, internal communications, community engagement, media relations, etc. Educational public relations is a planned, systematic management function, designed to help improve the programs and services of the school system. It relies on a comprehensive, two-way communication process involving both internal and external publics with the goal of stimulating better understanding of the role, objectives, accomplishments and needs of HCPS. The goal of the Communications Office is to assist in interpreting public attitudes, identify and help shape policies and procedures in the public interest, and carry on involvement and information activities which earn public understanding and support. The Manager of Communications manages and coordinates these communications efforts and serves as the school system's chief spokesperson. The office aims to support the district’s mission, vision and goals by building strong relationships with stakeholders, aligning messages for key initiatives and programs, and engaging the community in two-way communication targeted to their needs.
