  • Our Purpose

    To Connect Families,
    Schools & Community

    We aim to deliver unparalleled educational advocacy, outreach, and partnerships for military-connected students at SJAFB!


School Liaison

The Air Force School Liaison Office helps ease the impact of the mobile military lifestyle for children. Seymour Johnson's School Liaison provides information prior to a move, upon arrival, and while stationed at an installation. One of the important roles of the School Liaison is to connect families, schools, and the military community in order to facilitate the educational transition and academic experience of military children.
