“Welcome to our Purple Star community! After serving 22 years on Active Duty in the Air Force, while parenting three children of my own, I am uniquely equipped to understand and advocate for our military-connected students. My goal is to bridge the gap between military resources, CSA, and our Active Duty, Guard, and Reserve families to ensure they feel fully supported.”

Community STE[A]M Academy - Xenia Recognized as Purple Star School
The Purple Star School Designation is an award given to schools that show a major commitment to students and families connected to the nation’s military.
Military families move often. Changing schools can be tough on kids. A Purple Star school knows how to help these students transition smoothly so they can feel safe, welcome, and ready to learn.
“The Military & Family Readiness Center (M&FRC) provides programs and services designed to strengthen and support those affiliated with the military. Programs and services include the areas of finance, relocation, transition assistance, employment, personal & family work life, deployment, Exceptional Family Member Program, volunteering, and more.”
“M&FRC services are provided on a walk-in basis, with a few exceptions. Services are available to military personnel and their families and DOD civilians and their families.” - WPMFRC Landing Page
