Governor Abbott Announces Purple Star Campus Designations For 150 Texas Schools

"Texas proudly supports the brave men and women of our U.S. military and their families--and that includes the nearly 200,000 military-connected students attending public schools across our state. I signed a law in 2019 establishing the Purple Star Campus Designation program to encourage Texas public schools to expand resources and tools available on their campuses to help them meet the unique educational needs of military-connected students and their families. Together, we are giving back to our brave military families and paving the way for a brighter future for all Texas students.

We recognize the challenges military-connected students often face when transitioning schools, and by fostering an environment that embraces their unique experiences, these schools are creating a nurturing atmosphere where every individual student can thrive," said Texas Education Commissioner
Campuses with a Purple Star Designation let military families know that they are dedicated to providing the best quality educational experience for their children while in Texas public schools.
