Eight Mississippi public schools are being recognized for their support of military families and children of those who serve in the U.S. armed forces.

The Mississippi Department of Education acknowledged the following educational facilities as new Military Star Schools for 2026-28:

• Hattiesburg High School
• Callaway High School
• Jim Hill High School
• Baxterville School
• Lumberton Elementary
• Sumrall High School
• New Hope Lower Elementary
• Ocean Springs High School

According to the department, Military Star Schools must meet specific requirements that address the unique needs of military students and families. These include appointing a dedicated school liaison for military families, providing student-led transition services and peer support, ensuring professional development for staff to respond to the needs of military students and families, and publicly recognizing service members and their families.

Gov. Tate Reeves established the Military Star School program in February 2022, making Mississippi one of 31 states at that time with a formal program to recognize schools that support military families. In 2025, 18 schools earned the designation for 2025-27.

The Military Star School program is designed to help schools respond to the educational and social-emotional challenges military-connected children face during their transition to a new school and keep them on track to be college, workforce and life-ready. “Military-connected” refers to children of service members on active duty and in the National Guard and Reserves.

The Military Star School designation remains in effect for two years. Schools can reapply to maintain the designation. New schools can apply to receive the designation between Dec. 1, 2026, and Feb. 15, 2027. There are now 103 Military Star Schools in Mississippi. The full list can be found here.
