Military Families

Welcome to Laurel Hill School. We are committed to providing critical transitional support for military-connected students as they relocate to our school due to a parent's change in duty station. Our focus is to eliminate barriers to the academic success of military-connected students. We are here to assist and support the military family lifestyle in such areas as school transitions, frequent moves, deployment, and education inconsistencies that exist from state to state, along with many others.

Military Point of Contact – Stephanie Sanders, Guidance Counselor

Hobo to Hobo Student Transition Leadership Program

With a growing military population, Hobo students are embracing the new diversity within the student culture. Upon enrolling at Laurel Hill, new military students are immediately welcomed by a student representative to tour the campus, answer questions, and formulate friendships. Hobo to Hobo mentors are available to mentor and meet with new students.
