COLUMBIA, S.C. (WIS) - Tamika Sherman and her family understand the difficulties of military life.

"Nine times out of ten, you're away from your family and support system," Sherman said.

Sherman's husband is stationed at Fort Jackson. The Sherman's moved to South Carolina from Georgia. "The first thing I did was look up the area, where we were going to live and what schools were here," Sherman said.

Her children go to Richland School District 2 schools. Today, the school district was designated as a "Purple Star" school district.

Meaning they are making a significant commitment to supporting military families and students. The new designation was unveiled Monday by State Superintendent of Education Molly Spearman. She said, "We hope this will spread in those districts with military installations but we have National Guard, Army Reserve personnel all across South Carolina so it's important for schools everywhere to seek this designation."

These "Purple Star" schools have a dedicated liaison for military families, a student ambassador programs, a military family school website, adhere to the Military Interstate Children's Compact Commission (MIC3), are focused on helping military kids join extracurricular activities, and offer specialized training to staff.

According to data from the Department of Defense, there are more than 50,000 service members (Active duty and National Guard/Reserves) in the Palmetto State. Many of them have children attending public schools here.

Denzor Richberg is retired from the military. He said a "Purple Star" designation brings military families some comfort. "It brings us a sense of comfort and peace knowing our families are cared for in the community."

So far two school districts have been named "Purple Star" school districts, Richland 2 and Aiken County Public Schools. Sherman said, "Having a district and community to stand behind you and give you the support you need provides a huge relief."

SchoolQuest Can Solve Your Most Frustrating Problems

1. PLAN YOUR STUDENT'S YEAR AND ACADEMIC CAREER

Eliminate problems and delays by managing multiple student's academic careers simultaneously with SchoolQuest. Your dashboard allows you to stay on top of your student's education, whether you want to look at what they need during the year, or want to make sure they're on track to graduate.

2. STAY ON TOP OF THE DETAILS

SchoolQuest's custom and prebuilt checklists ensure you can stay on top of it all. With due date reminders, you won't have to worry about tasks slipping through the cracks. You can even sync task due dates with popular online calendar services, so you can easily see everything in one place.

3. ORGANIZE YOUR RECORDS

Worried that a missing record will derail the start of your student's school year? Now, you can keep everything from shot records, to transcripts all in one place by integrating your SchoolQuest account with a leading online storage service like Dropbox. This can make moving to a new school easier and can even make applying for colleges a more seamless process for your student.

There is also a scholarship search tool with a note-taking feature that can help your student take control of their education after graduation.

PCS Moves Can Have A Lasting Effect on Students

No two schools have the same process, and without pre-planning, a student may have to take freshman year classes to graduate.

Tracking deadlines can become time-consuming, and missing deadlines means your student may miss a class or extracurricular they wanted to participate in.

Each student has differing needs and different paperwork.

With all the information scattered between schools, it's difficult to know where to start, and it can take time to sort through it all.

Any "special situation" can cause delays.

SchoolQuest Can Help

Our prebuilt and custom checklists make it easy for you to keep track of what is due when. Receive email reminders to let you know when a task is nearing its due date, so you never have to worry about missing another deadline.

Our academic tracker makes it easy to keep track of moves and previous courses your student has taken.

Our resource library contains more than 300 different resources and was created by educational professionals who specialize in military-connected transitions. The library is ever-growing and resources are regularly updated, so you don't have to scour the internet to find the most accurate information.

Our document center makes it easy to keep track of documents, transcripts, and your student's portfolio.

"I really like how comprehensive it is. It is filled with the kind of information I wish I had when we first started military life with children."

If you're new here, welcome! I'm so happy you're here. Blue Star Families was founded in 2009 by military spouses to strengthen and empower military and Veteran families to thrive as they serve. We're committed to connecting them with their neighbors - individuals and organizations - to create vibrant communities of mutual support because we firmly believe: we're all stronger when we take care of one another.

The families of our All-Volunteer Force make unprecedented sacrifices every day to serve our country. Our groundbreaking research is raising the nation's awareness of the unique challenges of military family life - both during and after service.

With the help of neighbors across the country, Blue Star Families is overcoming the isolation and alienation of frequent moves, deployments, and reduced support from the government. Our innovative programs are solving specific challenges for military and Veteran families, such as fighting economic insecurity with resources that foster spouse career development, address food insecurity, building family strength with rich family programming, and provide critical peer support for caregivers - whose numbers are only increasing.

With more than 275,000 members in our network, including in Chapters and communities all over the world, Blue Star Families touches more than 1.5 million military family members every year.

Through our research and program partnerships, Blue Star Families ensures that wherever American military families go, they can always feel connected, supported, and empowered to thrive - in every community, across the nation, and around the globe.

2022 Military Youth of the Year

Overcoming enormous odds and demonstrating exceptional character and accomplishments.

"My Youth Center changed my life. I have honed my skills as a leader and role model, while still discovering and exploring my passion for music and the arts."

- Nicole T.

"The Youth Center has always been a source of stability for me during these times and for others, too. They take children and shape them into responsible young adults."

- Victoria R.

"My Club experience has impacted my life in many ways. I've learned how to be a better leader, an active community figure and an all-around good person."

- Thane D.

We asked seven National Military Youth of the Year winners to share their Club Experiences and what growing up in a military family means to them.

As a Military kid, Janiyah S. knows firsthand the challenges of uprooting, adapting and trying to find yourself along the way. But with the support of her Boys & Girls Clubs of America-affiliated Military Youth Center, she's not only been able to embrace her true self but encourage her peers to find acceptance and belonging, too.

Insecurities often made Ahsha B. feel small or like her struggles weren't important, but at her Boys & Girls Club, she found a judgment-free place to get to know herself, build her confidence and take on every opportunity that came her way.

Working Together to Improve the Lives of Military Families

Since 2016, Boys & Girls Clubs of America has partnered with government agencies, military-serving organizations, private sector corporations and foundations to improve the lives of military families in civilian communities where the need is greatest.

Called the "Better Together" partnership, this ground-breaking public-private collaboration is focused on taking action to support military youth and their families.

Resources have been aligned to help military-connected youth become more resilient and develop the skills necessary to enter the workforce. All resources are available for free through this site and our services and partner sites listed below.
