Monroe County school officials, on Saturday, January 15, proudly announced that James Monroe High School, Monroe County Technical Center, Mountain View School and Peterstown Elementary School are the recipients of the Purple Star Award.
As explained in a social media post, “The Purple Star Award is a designation assigned to schools that display a special commitment to supporting military children and their families. Common Ground Partners review applications and the West Virginia Department of Education issues awards to schools meeting the award’s eligibility criteria. Schools receiving the award are issued an official certificate and banner for their school, as well as, additional electronic materials which may be used to pridefully display their status as a military-friendly school throughout the building. This award contributes to efforts of building strong bonds between schools, military service members, and community organizations that meet the specialized needs of our children and enhance the success of all students.”
