April is the month to recognize and celebrate the extraordinary, yet often unsung, heroes—military kids. From frequent moves and changing schools to enduring long periods of separation from a parent, military children face unique challenges every day—and they do so with courage and heart. Today, HSSD recognizes this by wearing purple. Why Purple? Purple represents all service branches, Active Duty, Reserve, National Guard, and Veterans. It blends each branch’s colors: the Air Force, Navy, Space Force, and Coast Guard’s blues, the Army’s green, and the Marines’ red. Wearing purple symbolizes unity for military children across all the services, and it is a reminder that they are supported and seen. Why We Say Military Kids Serve Too® More than 1.6 million military children support our nation simply by being part of a military family. On average, military children will attend as many as nine schools between kindergarten and high school graduation. The number of hellos and goodbyes, new zip codes, and phone numbers can bear so much weight.

Good luck to our High School Track team competing this Friday.

Thank you to these local businesses.

Let's "do this" middle schoolers and 11th graders. Do your best.

Just a reminder that the school district is wearing purple this Thursday to celebrate April as the Month of the Military Child. The Defense Department celebrates military children during the month of April. There are more than 1.6 million military children who face many challenges and unique experiences as a result of their parents' service.

Middle schoolers and our 11th graders. State testing begins tomorrow so get lots of sleep and have a good breakfast. You have worked really hard this school year- now it's time to put that growth to the test. We believe in you.
