Teri Carnicelli, editor of the North Central News, was recognized last month by the Arizona School Public Relations Association with an “Award of Excellence-News Media.” The award recognized her for “consistent and accurate reporting on education.”

She devotes space in every issue to spotlight happenings, awards, recognition and events in the public schools … In addition, Teri provides an outlet for local civic and nonprofit organizations to highlight their programs that support the children in our area.”
