Bethel Middle School is proud to receive the Purple Star Designation as a part of the Purple Star Class of 2026!
The Purple Star Award recognizes a school's major commitment to serving students and families with a connection to our nation's military. Ohio's military-connected youth require support to ensure their unique academic, social, and emotional needs are met to be successful while transitioning between schools. The Purple Star Award signifies a school's commitment to serving these students and families.
Bethel Local Schools would like to congratulate Joshua Sowder and Brent Fugate, our Middle School Principals, as well as Gabrielle Waller and Shanon Blankenship, our Guidance Counselors, for their incredible work in earning this award!
