The Durham Public Schools Office of Public Affairs is dedicated to sharing the stories, successes, and spirit of our schools, students, and staff. Through strategic communications, media engagement, and community partnerships, we ensure that our families, educators, and the broader Durham community stay informed, inspired, and connected.

We are an award-winning team of storytellers, communicators, and advocates who believe in the power of public education. We work to elevate the voices of our students, highlight the dedication of our educators, and celebrate the impact of Durham Public Schools. Our mission is to build trust and foster engagement through clear, transparent, and dynamic communication.
