About Elevated Education Partners
Our commitment to public relations started early in our careers and has culminated with the creation of Elevated Education Partners.
Though our career trajectory has been similar, our experiences have varied widely. Aurora worked in journalism and for an education non-profit before joining the fifth-largest public school system in Missouri. Liz transformed nonprofit communications in the Boston area before joining an urban school system in Massachusetts and an educational collaborative.
Throughout each step of our careers, we have seen the full scale of education-related public relations and community initiatives. These experiences have confirmed our core belief that the education systems are a reflection of their communities and a strategic plan for building community trust and engagement education is vital to the success of both. Realizing how many school districts are focused on the day-to-day without the ability to strategically prioritize long-term projects inspired us to find a better way to support district communication. We found Elevated Education Partners to be the better way.
Through our innovative and personalized approach, workshops and consulting we spark impactful conversations, inspire collective support, and revolutionize school and family communications, ensuring thoughtful and targeted outcomes.
