SCMS is in the process of receiving the Purple Star Award. The Purple Star designation recognizes a significant commitment to supporting military families and students of servicemen and women.

Designated schools will have met specific requirements, targeted training, and implemented programs and resources designed to support the unique situations facing military students and families.

A Purple Star School will have a dedicated liaison as a single point of contact for military families and military-connected students. This staff member will be specially trained to support various issues that face military families: relocations, deployment, loss, and academic planning. They will assist teachers in identifying and accommodating special considerations students and military families may need for ongoing success.

South Charleston Middle School's Purple Star Liaison is Ms. Michelle Tate
