Approximately 35,000 students in Ohio are members of military families. Frequent moves and family separations through deployments, as well as reintegration issues make life especially challenging. Ohio offers a number of programs to assist military families. Massillon Intermediate and Junior High Schools acknowledge the sacrifices made by our military families and pledge to support our military affiliated students.
We invite students with an active duty parent, guardian, sibling or caregiver to fill out this Google form and they will be given a code to join our Purple Star Student Google Classroom. Sign up for Military Students' Google Classroom

The Purple Star Award recognizes schools that show a major commitment to students and families connected to our nation’s military.
Ohio is committed to serving military members and their families. Ohio’s schools and districts can welcome and support military-connected students and their families by properly identifying them as members of the school community. The Every Students Succeeds Act (ESSA) requires districts to identify and report these students who have a parent or legal guardian who is a member of the Armed Forces or National Guard each year.
MJHS and MIS are seeking to receive their Purple Star designation this school year!
