Craven County Schools Honored

with the Purple Star District Award for the 4th Year!

On Friday, May 9th, during a special Purple Star Award Ceremony hosted by NCDPI, Craven County Schools was proudly recognized as a Purple Star District for the 4th consecutive year!

This incredible achievement highlights our unwavering commitment to supporting military-connected students and families. With this recognition, every one of our schools has also earned the distinction of being military-friendly, a testament to our district-wide dedication.

The district was honored to welcome Colonel Burks, Commanding Officer of USMC Cherry Point, and his wife, Holly, who joined in celebrating this milestone, alongside our Military Liaison Counselor, Mrs. Jodi Scoggins. Special thanks to Mrs. Scoggins for assisting our schools with their applications and providing any help needed.

With North Carolina ranking 4th in the nation for military population, and Craven County proudly serving as home to USMC Cherry Point, we are committed to ALWAYS rolling out the red carpet for every military family. Your service does not go unnoticed, and neither does the service and sacrifice of your children.

Congratulations to the 31 districts recognized during the ceremony. To us, being a Purple Star District is more than a symbol—it’s a promise.
