We are committed to partnering with you to ensure our military-connected students maximize their unique potential and in finding innovative ways to support our military families. One support we are proud to offer is a student support program at our elementary schools, where students are grouped in long-term communities for the duration of their elementary school experience. At the middle and high schools, our peer helpers are eager to help families as they transition into a new school environment. If you have questions or need assistance, please contact Dr. John Lowry, Federal Programs Coordinator, at (205) 870-4203 or jlowry@homewood.k12.al.us

About the Purple Star Program:
Alabama Purple Star School program, established by Legislature with the passage of Act 2021-7, recognizes the efforts of the K-12 schools in the state that are committed and supportive of military students, and their families, as they transition to their new homes and schools. The Purple Star School program was designed to help mitigate the challenges of high mobility by setting standards for and publicly designating military-friendly schools. This award recognizes schools that show a major commitment to military-connected students and families.
