PURPLE STAR SCHOOL
In an effort to serve the military community, Skyridge is joining a growing number of schools in states throughout the nation
to become a Purple Star School – schools that go the extra mile to provide smooth transitions for military families.
Purple has been chosen to represent all service branches, Active Duty, Reserve, National Guard, and Veterans.
It blends each branch’s colors: the Air Force, Navy, Space Force, and Coast Guard’s blues,
the Army’s green, and the Marines’ red.
Family Resources
Skyridge is commited to creating opportunities and providing support programs to help students of military families
successfully navigate their high school experience.
