Clement Elementary received news on February 28 that their application for the NC Purple Star Award was approved.
In 2019, The North Carolina Department of Public Instruction launched the Purple Star Award Designation initiative to recognize the state’s strong military presence and its support for military families. The Purple Star designation is awarded to schools that demonstrate military-friendly practices and a commitment to military students and families.
Clement is the first elementary school in Sampson County Schools to earn this designation.
The award will formally be presented to Clement in a ceremony in Raleigh on May 9.
