Coastal Academy received the Purple Star designation awarded by the California Department of Education in 2025. School counselor and military liaison, Lisa Taylor, shares what this means for military families. She explains the unique challenges military-connected students face, including frequent relocations, academic adjustments, and social isolation. She describes how Coastal Academy supports its 199 military-connected students through intentional programs such as a peer buddy system, a military–parent–led social group, specialized teacher training, and events that ensure a smooth transition.
