Waynesville R-VI School District being named a Purple Star School District

Missouri State Senator Justin Brown of Rolla and State Representative Bill Hardwick of Rolla has presented resolutions in recognition of the Waynesville R-VI School District being named a Purple Star School District. The Purple Star designation recognizes schools and/or districts that are military friendly and have demonstrated a major commitment to the students and families connected to our nation’s military, including active duty, National Guard, Reserve members, and veterans.
Brown’s resolution notes that Waynesville R-VI earned the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education’s 2022 Missouri Purple Star designation and “is one of only four school districts in Missouri to be chosen as a 2022 Missouri Purple Star School District.” Hardwick’s resolution notes that Waynesville R-VI “will receive Purple Star recognition to display onsite and on the district’s website.” He also noted that DESE will host a special ceremony this fall to recognize the schools and districts for their dedication to military families.
