31 Mississippi education centers recognized as Military Star Schools
SUMMARY: The Mississippi Department of Education has recognized 31 education centers as 2024-2026 Military Star Schools for their substantial support of military families and children of service members. These schools appoint military family liaisons, provide student-led support services, require staff training on military family needs, and publicly acknowledge the military community. The initiative was launched by Governor Tate Reeves in February 2022 and previously awarded the designation to 61 schools for 2023-2025. The program aims to ease educational and social-emotional challenges for military-connected children during transitions. Designations are valid for two years, with the opportunity for renewal or new applications in 2025.
