· The Missouri School Public Relations Association (MOSPRA) has selected Dr. Terry Adams, Superintendent of the Wentzville R-IV School District, as its "MOSPRA Administrator of the Year." Each year, MOSPRA presents its annual Awards of Distinction, recognizing individuals who make significant contributions in school public relations throughout the state of Missouri. According to MOSPRA, Dr. Adams was selected because "He works hard at putting the personal in interpersonal communications. He is a member of the Chamber of Commerce, Rotary, and other community organizations where he can interact with the public, informing and inspiring. He never misses an opportunity for positive public relations on behalf of the District. The "Administrator of the Year" recipient is a school official who does not hold an official P.R. position, but has still made a significant contribution to school public relations.
