In 2019, The North Carolina Department of Public Instruction launched the Purple Star Award Designation initiative to recognize the state’s strong military presence and its support for military families. The Purple Star designation is awarded to schools that demonstrate military-friendly practices and a commitment to military students and families.

We are proud to have five schools designated as Purple Star Award schools currently. Currituck County Schools has also set the goal to earn the distinction as a Purple Star Award district by Spring 2024.
