5 Baldwin schools awarded for military-friendly campuses

Posted

Five schools in Baldwin County were named a Purple Star School for 2023 for their efforts that are committed to and supportive of military students and their families as they transition to their new homes and schools.

The Alabama Purple Star Schools Program and Committee, established by the state legislature, was designed to help mitigate the challenges of high mobility by setting standards for and publicly designating military-friendly schools. The Purple Star Award recognizes schools that show a major commitment to students and families connected to our nation's military. A school must complete a list of required and one optional activity as determined by the program.

This year's Purple Star Schools in Baldwin County are Daphne East Elementary School, Daphne Elementary School, Daphne High School, Florence B. Mathis Elementary School and W.J. Carroll Intermediate School.
