~ Governor Greg Abbott has announced that 98 public schools in Texas have been awarded the prestigious Purple Star Campus Designation for the upcoming 2025-2026 school year. This brings the total number of Purple Star-designated schools in Texas to an impressive 640.

The Purple Star Campus Designation is a recognition given to schools that are dedicated to providing comprehensive support for students from military families. Governor Abbott, who made the announcement, highlighted the importance of this program in supporting the nearly 200,000 military-connected students attending public schools in Texas.

In his statement, Governor Abbott stated, "The Purple Star Campus Designation program encourages Texas public schools to expand resources and tools available on their campuses to meet the unique educational needs of military-connected students and their families. Texas will continue to support the families of the brave men and women who fought for our country."

Texas Education Commissioner Mike Morath also expressed his enthusiasm for this achievement, stating, "By adding 98 new Purple Star campuses this year, Texas continues to strengthen its commitment to military-connected students and their families. With 640 schools now carrying this designation, we are ensuring that military children receive the care, stability, and support they deserve, no matter where their service takes them."

The Purple Star Campus Designation was established in 2019 when Governor Abbott signed Senate Bill 1557 into law. This designation is awarded to schools that demonstrate a significant commitment to providing comprehensive support for students from military families. To receive this recognition, campuses must meet strict criteria such as designating a campus-based military liaison and creating an easily accessible webpage with required information for military-connected families.

It is worth noting that all public school campuses in Texas are eligible for this designation regardless of their size of military-connected student population. Applications are accepted annually with the designation lasting for two years.
