Military Child Education Coalition ®

Socorro ISD is committed to supporting over 2,800 military-connected students, with expectations for an additional 750 due to base closures. Frequent moves pose challenges, particularly during high school, with an average of 6-12 relocations throughout a student's education. The Student 2 Student (S2S) program trains peers to assist those transitioning in and out, easing anxieties and fostering connection. Additionally, deployment clubs help students cope with the stresses of deployment by creating safe spaces to share experiences and support one another during challenging times.
