Image of Purple Star Award

Seneca East Local Schools is dedicated to meeting the needs of every student, especially those who are military-connected. On April 17, these efforts were recognized by the Ohio Department of Education with the Purple Star Award. 

Seneca East Elementary and Seneca East Middle Schools were presented with the designation, which highlights schools that provide extra support to families who serve in the U.S. military and their children. To be eligible for the award, schools must meet a strict set of criteria set by Ohio’s Purple Star Advisory Board. The designation is for three years, at which time the district may reapply for the prestigious status.   Seneca East High School received this destination last year. 

April is the Month of the Military Child, set aside to recognize military kids for their sacrifice and bravery on the homefront. Seneca East Schools are proud to receive this award during this honorary month and to serve our military students and families.
