MCEC is the national advocate for Purple Star Schools, a program that supports military-connected children as they relocate to new schools due to a parent’s change in duty station.
Established in 2004, Student 2 Student® (S2S™) is a student program that brings military and civilian students together to welcome new students, create a positive environment, support academic excellence, and ease transitions.
Our inaugural S2S Program at Journey Middle School is currently being established by Kimberly Downing, with the help of community leaders and district employees. If you are new to our school and would like ways to connect to others in our school's community: please contact Mrs. Downing at ksdowning@madisoncity.k12.al.us.
Mrs. Downing is also our liaison for our military connected students and families. If you are a military-connected family (active duty or retired), and you are looking for ways to get connected to our school community, please contact Kimberly Downing.
