Purple Star School Designation Information

Purple Star Schools is a program that supports military-connected children as they relocate to new schools due to a parent's change in duty station. This designation is given to Local Education Agencies (LEAs) and Private/Non-public schools for their commitment to serving active-duty military families and students. If your LEA or school is interested in applying for this designation and serving military families and military connected students, email RA-mailto:RA-EDMILITARYFAMK12@pa.govto request an application.

The application period is open from April 1, 2025, through August 1, 2025. To learn more about the Purple Star Schools application process, visit PDE’s Purple Star Schools webpage.
