The Chesapeake Public Schools mission is to promote educational excellence by engaging all students in meaningful and innovative learning experiences that empower them to successfully fulfill their life’s purpose. Chesapeake is geographically located near many Naval and other military bases and, as a result, is home to approximately 9,000 military-connected students. We are honored to serve our military families and value the unique and varied ways military children enrich our classrooms and community. Chesapeake Public Schools (CPS) is committed to serving families connected to our nation’s military. Military Family Life Counselors (MFLC) are present in many schools. With parental consent, MFLCs are trained to offer support services, briefings, and/or presentations to students. Military families moving into our district are encouraged to contact our Chesapeake School Liaison officer, Tiffany Johnson, to help mitigate the transition. The following links and resources provide an overview of the educational opportunities and services that may be of interest to military-connected families who will be joining the Chesapeake Public Schools’ family.

Celebrating 100% Purple Star Schools! 100% Purple Star Division Status! The Purple Star designation is awarded to military-friendly schools that have demonstrated their commitment to meeting the needs of military-connected students and their families. To reach and maintain Purple Star division status, all schools in the school district must have an active Purple Star School designation. The Purple Star Designation is awarded by the VDOE. Purple Star schools retain the designation for three years before being required to reapply.
