April is recognized as the Month of the Military Child, a time to honor and celebrate the resilience and sacrifices of children in military families. Huntsville City Schools proudly supports our military-connected students and their families.
In recognition of their strength and contributions, we invite all students, staff, and community members to participate in Purple Up Day on Friday, April 11, 2025. We encourage everyone to wear purple as a visible show of support and appreciation for our military children.
Thank you for joining us in celebrating the Month of the Military Child and showing our gratitude to those who serve and sacrifice for our country.
