You can view the full press release here: https://www.in.gov/doe/about/news/indiana-department-of-education-announces-purple-star-designated-schools3/ INDIANAPOLIS -- The Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) today announced 102 newly-designated and/or redesignated Purple Star schools - the largest group since the award was created in 2020. Schools receiving the Purple Star designation are awarded for their significant display of commitment to service members, veterans and students and families connected to our nation’s military. “The daily sacrifices of our service members and their families are beyond what many of us can comprehend,” said Dr. Katie Jenner, Indiana Secretary of Education. “Honoring their selflessness and unwavering commitment to protecting our freedoms as Americans is a priority for our state, on Veterans Day and every day of the year. It is an honor to award the Purple Star designation to these Indiana schools for their recognition, celebration and support of our military families, as well as our students who may be considering a future in military service." This year’s designation includes 64 newly-awarded Purple Star schools in addition to 38 schools that renewed their designation this year. The designation is valid for three years. #MakeYourDreamsTakeFlight
