Canyon ISD is committed to supporting military-connected students, their families, and the educators who serve them. We recognize the unique challenges these students face, including frequent school transitions and the emotional impact of deployments. Our goal is to provide resources and guidance to help ease these transitions and promote academic success.

Who Are Military-Connected Students?
Texas is home to one of the largest populations of military-connected students in the nation:

• Nearly 230,000 military-connected students are enrolled in Texas public and open-enrollment charter schools.

• Every school region in Texas has identified military-connected students.

• On average, military-connected children move 6 to 9 times during their K–12 education.

• Approximately 30% of these students are between the ages of 6 and 11.

• Children from military families are twice as likely as their civilian peers to serve in the Armed Forces as adults.
