She has been with the district since 1999
Nicole Kirby, director of communication services, announced she will be retiring from Park Hill School District at the end of the school year, on June 30.
“I love Park Hill and our people, and I will be sad to miss being part of the ongoing work we are doing to be a safer, more inclusive place for everyone to learn and to work,” Kirby said. “But it’s time for me to move on to a new opportunity that will give me the flexibility to be present for my family.”
Kirby came to Park Hill in 1999. She received the National School Public Relations Association’s top program award, the Gold Medallion, for a “comprehensive, strategic, year-round communication program.”
She also received NSPRA’s Front-Runner Award and the Missouri School Public Relations Association’s Professional of the Year and Distinguished Service awards. She is the current NSPRA president.
Starting in the fall, she will be a senior strategic consultant for the Center for Effective School Operations (CESO) communications team.
