purple star

G.W. Long High School is currently a Purple Star School.  The Alabama Purple Star Schools Program and committee, established by Legislature with the passage of Act 2021-7, recognizes the efforts of the K-12 schools in the state that are committed and supportive of military students, and their families, as they transition to their new homes and schools.  The Purple Star School program was designed to help mitigate the challenges of high mobility by setting standards for and publicly designated military-friendly schools.  The Purple Star Award recognizes schools that show a major commitment to students and families connected to our nation's military.  Schools that earn the award will receive a special Purple Star recognition to display on site.
