TROY – Troy City Schools Director of Communications David Fong won 10 awards at the Ohio School Public Relations Association’s annual awards banquet.
“My job is to communicate this district’s story to our families and stakeholders, and I can’t possibly imagine any place with more stories, or better stories, than this district,” Fong said. “I am honored by these awards, but know deep down they truly belong to the students and staff who are a part of the greatest school district in the galaxy. They make my job easy and a true joy every day. I can’t imagine there’s another job out there better than this one.”
Fong won two writing awards, one for the district’s Facebook page and seven for photography. His writing awards were for a story he wrote about Troy High School senior Tatyana Green and a pair of Troy High School students who have Feb. 29 birthdays. His photography awards were for pictures of the 2024 spelling bee winner celebrating his victory, two pictures from Troy High School’s graduation, Military Appreciation Night at a Troy football game, 101 Dalmatians Day at Heywood Elementary School, field day at the Van Cleve Sixth Grade Building and one for the Veterans Day ceremony at Concord Elementary School.
“You’d be hard-pressed to find someone who is more passionate about the Troy City Schools than David,” Troy City Schools Superintendent Chris Piper said. “That passion and his love for his job and this district shows through in his work. Communication with our students, their families and our community is very important to us, and we are very fortunate to have someone who loves doing what he does as much as David.”
