KME Recieves Ohio Purple Star Designation

This week, the Ohio Department of Education announced that Kings Mills Elementary has received the Purple Star designation and is a member of the Purple Star Class of 2023. This year's class includes 165 schools from across the state.

The Purple Star Award recognizes schools that show a major commitment to students and families connected to our nation’s military. Schools that earn the award will receive a special Purple Star recognition to display on site.

A school is honored with a Purple Star if it completes the required activities need for designation. Ohio is home to 511 active Purple Star schools that dedicate time and supports to students in military families. KME joins J.F. Burns and South Lebanon Elementary as Kings Local School District Purple Star Schools.
