Three SAISD Campuses Receive Purple Star Designation in Recognition of Commitment to Military-Connected Students

Three San Angelo ISD Campuses Named Purple Star Campuses
Three SAISD Campuses Receive Purple Star Designation in Recognition of Commitment to Military-Connected Students

San Angelo ISD is proud to announce three of our campuses have received the distinction of being named a Texas Education Agency (TEA) Purple Star Designation campus. The award recognizes schools that excel in meeting the needs of military-connected students and their families. Congratulations to Central High School, Glenn Middle School and Glenmore Elementary for your dedication to our families at Goodfellow Air Force Base and in the military community. SAISD is home to approximately 750 military-connected students, and is honored to support the children of our military servicemen and women.

“It is truly an honor and a privilege to serve our military-connected students and families,” said Teri Gould, Principal at Glenmore Elementary. “Glenmore's support and commitment to meeting the unique needs of our military connected students and their families truly makes the difference as they adjust to living in a new community. We are so proud to receive this distinction and work hard to maintain the relationship we share with our partners at Goodfellow AFB.” 

These campuses work to provide extra support systems for military-connected students including a program connecting civilian students with newly enrolled military children to ease the transition of being the “new kid” at school. Together, they tour the campus, eat lunch together, and answer questions that come with moving to a new place. These campuses exemplify the characteristics within our SAISD Educator Profile through their commitment to our students by providing each student with an inspiring educational experience which prepares them to be future-ready, whatever that future may be.

“Central High School has a long history of dedication to service," said Jill Ross, Principal at Central High School. "As we begin the 2023-2024 school year with this designation, we will dedicate our campus to continuing the service to our country and community. May we honor the lives of our military-connected children and their families through our daily walk at Central.”

We extend a heartfelt congratulations to Central High School, Glenn Middle School and Glenmore Elementary on this well-deserved honor, and we look forward to seeing your continued support of our Goodfellow Air Force Base students and families.
