Military

At Tommy Smith Elementary, we wear our Purple Star with pride and purpose.

As a designated Purple Star Campus, we honor students, support them, and ensure they belong from day one. For families serving in the armed services, we understand what military life demands. At Tommy Smith, we're ready to meet those needs.

Military families face unique challenges. Frequent moves. Deployments. New schools and new friends every few years. We've built a comprehensive support system designed specifically for these students.

Welcome Ambassadors

Our Welcome Ambassadors greet every new military student personally. They help them navigate the building, make friends, and settle in quickly. Every week, our Military & Family Life Counselor hosts Lunch Bunch, where military-connected students gather and build connections with peers who truly understand their experience.

Honoring Service

Our Wall of Honor proudly displays the brave men and women connected to our school family who serve our nation. And soon, we'll begin highlighting the incredible stories of our military-connected students, celebrating the resilience and strength they demonstrate every day.
