Do Palm Beach County public school students get Friday off? When's the last day of school?
There is no school Friday for Palm Beach County School District students and most employees as the district takes a spring holiday.
Friday is not a holiday for 12-month employees.
For seniors, Friday is the last holiday until graduation season gets going on May 6 with Indian Ridge and virtual school. Graduations are held on most school days until May 22, when Suncoast, Seminole Ridge and Dwyer hold the last of the district's ceremonies. Most will be held at the South Florida Fairgrounds.
The ceremonies will be broadcast live on The Education Network (TEN), Xfinity channel 235, AT&T U-verse channel 99, and streamed live online with closed captioning.

The first day of the 2025-26 school year is Aug. 11.
