It's Military Appreciation Game Day for the Ozark City Schools as they host and recognize active duty and retired military members and their families at Carroll High School’s football game
Although the event at Matthews Stadium is being billed as “Military Appreciation Game Day," every day is military appreciation day at CHS, said Principal Dr. Charles Corbitt Jr. Monday.
This year the Ozark City Schools System was named one of 53 public schools and systems across the state awarded the “Purple Star School” designation as part of a national and state initiative to recognize schools for their support of military children."Student 2 student," a student-to-student peer program for military students, and the appointment of a school liaison for military families are criteria for a school to be considered for the honor.
Corbitt said that Ozark City Schools Superintendent Reeivice Girtman strongly encourages actively welcoming military students and their families to ease their transfers into the city and school system. “If we do not physically serve in the military, the least we can do is recognize them for all they do for us,” Corbitt said.
