Johnstown-Monroe is proud to announce that Johnstown Intermediate, Johnstown Middle School, and Johnstown High School have all been awarded Purple Star designation by the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce.

Last year, JES received this special designation, so all schools within our district are now officially, “Purple Star Schools.”

In a letter received April 15, 2025, Purple Star Director Stephen D. Dackin, wrote,

 “Ohio’s Purple Star Advisory Board established strict criteria that schools must meet to be considered for a Purple Star designation, and I am proud to announce that your school has successfully met these standards. I applaud and appreciate your commitment to serving military-connected students and families.

“Ohio’s military-connected youth require supports that consider their unique wellness and academic needs, especially while navigating school transitions. The Purple Star award signifies your school’s demonstrated commitment to serving these students and families.

“Once again, congratulations on earning the Purple Star designation and thank you for your continuous support of Ohio’s military families.”
