The Purple Star Award for military-friendly schools recognizes schools that show a major commitment to students and families connected to our nation’s military. Schools that earn the award will receive a special Purple Star recognition to display onsite.
The Purple Star Advisory Board formed by the Alaska Department of Education & Early Development will determine a school’s eligibility for the award after the December 31 application deadline. Schools that qualify will be announced and awarded the Purple Star Designation in April, the month of the military child.
