Support for Military/ Military Families
Mechanicsburg Exempted Village Schools is proud to support those who have served and are serving in the military. In an effort to better support students who have an active military member in their immediate family, Mechanicsburg Exempted Village School District works to identify these Purple Star families and support them in their classrooms and schools. In addition, our district hosts various special events throughout the year to connect these families with one another and the Mechanicsburg community. Purple Star families are encouraged to contact the military liaison with any questions.
