The MC BOE recently accepted a resolution to recognize MCS as a Purple Heart District. Many WVs are veterans of the Unites States armed forces and have families with children attending school. During
times when these families relocate to meet duty requirements or
experience the absence of a loved one while on deployment, MCS
has an opportunity to meet the unique needs of these children.
The Purple Star Award is designed to recognize schools that create
a military-friendly environment and make a special commitment to
supporting the resilience of military connected children. For more information, contact L.D. Skarzinski, Administrative Assistant of C&I, at lskarzin@k12.wv.us or visit https://wvde.us/commonground/.
