FSPA, established in 1945, is an organization for high school and middle school journalism students and teachers.
Members represent counties throughout Florida.
FSPA helps teachers be effective classroom instructors by offering training programs through district workshops and a state convention. FSPA also works with the Florida Department of Education to develop journalism certification standards and to promote improved journalism instruction. Each district elects an adviser and a student to serve on the FSPA executive board. The board meets twice a year. More than 950 students and teachers are expected to attend.
