Purple Star Schools

Brunswick City School District values the families that live in our community who have ties to the military. As a district, we understand that military children go through unique circumstances and situations, and we are here to help those families. This web page is designed to provide students with easy access to links and helpful resources.
If families have any questions, they may contact their building Military Liaison listed at the bottom of this page.
