San Angelo ISD is proud to announce four of our campuses have received the distinction of
being named a Texas Education Agency (TEA) Purple Star Designation campus, an award in
recognition of schools that excel in meeting the needs of military-connected students and
their families. Congratulations to Central High School, Glenn Middle School, Glenmore
Elementary, and Belaire Elementary for your dedication to our families at Goodfellow Air
Force Base and in the military community. SAISD is home to approximately 750
military-connected students, and is honored to support the children of our military
servicemen and women.
These campuses work to provide extra support systems for military-connected students
including a program connecting civilian students with newly enrolled military children to
ease the transition of being the “new kid” at school. Together, they tour the campus, eat
lunch together, and answer questions that come with moving to a new place. These
campuses exemplify the characteristics within our SAISD Educator Profile through their
commitment to our students by providing each student with an inspiring educational
experience which prepares them to be future-ready, whatever that future may be.
“As the Goodfellow Air Force Base School Liaison I take great pride in our local community
and the education we are providing our preschool through 12th grade students. The
distinguished state honor of Purple Star campuses showcases the incredible partnership
initiatives between San Angelo ISD and Goodfellow AFB,” said Goodfellow School Liaison
Theresa Goodwin. “The continued commitment of advocacy, support, and scholastic
exploration widens the local academic opportunities for all SAISD students to include
military-connected students. This vested partnership is creating foundational building blocks
for lasting educational success!”
Mr. Michael Kalnbach, Principal at Glenn Middle School, reflected on the importance of our
military families in our community. “Year after year we are amazed at how our military
families serve and immerse themselves in our community even in the short period of time
they are with us, and often while they face difficult circumstances of their own. Their selfless
commitment to all those around them is an excellent example to our students. We are proud
of their service to our country, and blessed to have them as an important part of our Glenn
team.”
We extend a heartfelt congratulations to Central High School, Glenn Middle School,
Glenmore Elementary, and Belaire Elementary on this well-deserved honor, and we look
forward to seeing your continued support of our Goodfellow Air Force Base students and
families. To stay up-to-date on San Angelo ISD, please visit the SAISD website at
