The origin of the name \u201cNORBERT\u201d is a combination of the names of the first two recognized schools&#8217; principals \u2013 Norman Minehira of Leilehua High, and Robert Stevens of Radford High. The Purple Star NORBERT Hawai\u02bbi Award now combines the NORBERT Award with the Purple Star School Program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Purple Star School Program is designed to assist and recognize schools that respond to the educational and social-emotional challenges faced by military-connected children during their transition to a new school and their work to keep these students on track to be college, workforce, and community-ready. The award criteria includes having student-led transition services for incoming and outgoing students, addressing key educational transition issues encountered by children of military families, participating and engaging in military partnerships, and having an effective parent and community network program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The awardees are the first to be recognized as Purple Star NORBERT Hawai&#8217;i schools during JVEF\u2019s annual meeting held Dec. 14:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>1.

Military families often encounter challenges due to frequent relocations during their service, often moving to new locations with different schools every two to three years. Most of these students attend 58 schools located on or near military installations in O\u02bbahu&#8217;s Central, Leeward and Windward school districts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The JVEF annual meeting was sponsored by the Hawai\u02bbi Business Roundtable and the Chamber of Commerce Hawai\u02bbi Military Affairs Council.
