Purple Star – Alpine School District

Purple Star Schools

Utah has joined a growing number of states throughout the nation to recognize Purple Star Schools – schools that go the extra mile to provide smooth transitions for military families.

Alpine School District has eight Purple Star Schools. We celebrate schools who embrace the spirit of the Purple Star Schools program and recognize how the program helps all students achieve the Vision for Learning.

Schools earn the prestigious Purple Star designation with the following:
