NEVADA'S MILITARY COMMUNITY

A military-connected student is defined as a student with a parent who is a member of the Armed Forces on active duty, including National Guard and Reserve forces.  It can be a child with both parents serving. It can be a child of a recently, honorably discharged service-member. It can be a child of a servicemember recently killed in action.  

Nevada is home to roughly 11,000 school-aged, military-connected children who are shaped by the influence of military on their lives. It is important for Nevada's educators to understand military life in Nevada and how our educational systems can help.

Please watch this short video to hear military-connected children share their thoughts on parental deployment and moving.

Nevada has 4 military bases: Nellis Air Force Base, Creech Air Force Base, Hawthorne Army Depot, and Fallon Naval Air Station. Like all states, Nevada is also home to National Guard units, Reserve units, and recruiting centers for all 6 branches of the military and National Guard.
