Purple Star Schools
Information about the Purple Star Schools Program
In an effort to serve the military community, Utah has joined a growing number of states throughout the nation to recognize Purple Star Schools – schools that go the extra mile to provide smooth transitions for military families.
Alpine School District supports the Purple Star Schools program by facilitating program participation among our 92 schools. We celebrate schools who embrace the spirit of the Purple Star Schools program and recognize how the program helps all students achieve the Vision for Learning.
