Purple Star Schools

The York County School Division is a proud participant in the Purple Star Designation Program. Purple Star Schools are recognized by the Virginia Department of Education and the Virginia Council on the Interstate Compact on Educational Opportunity for Military Children for demonstrating their commitment to meeting the needs of military-connected students and their families. These schools actively support our military-connected families in a variety of ways.

To earn the Purple Star designation, the schools must meet the requirements in each of these areas:

• Point of Contact
• Student Ambassador Program
• Military Family Webpage
• Professional Development
• Division-wide Activities
• School Board Office Liaison

Below is the list of schools earning the Purple Star designation and the most recent year the school received the award.
