Jeffers Military Families

We understand that military families face unique challenges related to school enrollment, transfers, placement, and graduation due to frequent relocating in service to our country. To ensure that our military families have the support they need, the schools with the highest enrollment of military-connected students have access to Military Family Life Counselors to help guide them and connect them to various resources available to them.
