GWES would like to take the time to celebrate being a Purple Star School!

Purple Heart Schools is a program that supports military-connected children as they relocate to new schools due to a parent’s change in duty station. 

Military children move every two to three years. The Purple Star School program is designed to help schools respond to the educational and social-emotional challenges military-connected children face during their transition to a new school and keep them on track to be college, workforce, and life-ready. Military-connected refers to children of service members on active duty, and in the National Guard and Reserves. 

GWES is a Purple Star School which means we care about and support our military families.  Please connect with us for resources!  Military Family Point of Contact-Suzette Rosario 304-586-2184 Ext. 2420.
