Board approves Purple Star designation resolution for Center Grove High School
Summary
The board unanimously approved a resolution authorizing the corporation to apply for and accept the Purple Star School designation for Center Grove High School, a three‑year designation from the Indiana Department of Education recognizing support for military‑connected students and families.
The Center Grove board voted to approve a resolution enabling Center Grove High School to receive the Purple Star School designation from the Indiana Department of Education, a three‑year recognition for schools that show a significant commitment to students and families connected to the military.
Superintendent Dr. Long explained the designation requires each school to apply separately and meet criteria — for example, maintaining a dedicated space on the school website and providing specific services and programming for military‑connected families. He said the designation is not applied corporation‑wide and must be requested by each school that seeks it.
Board action
A board member moved to approve the resolution for the high school, the motion received a second, and the board adopted the resolution by voice vote with the ayes prevailing.
Ending: With the board's approval the corporation will proceed with the application and, if awarded, the designation is valid for three years and will require renewal thereafter.
