When is the last day of school for students in Palm Beach County public schools?
That was fast, wasn't it? One minute Palm Beach County School Superintendent Mike Burke is opening the school year, and the next minute ... it's today. The 2024-25 school year is quickly drawing to a close. High school seniors are graduating and turning their thoughts to what's next in their lives. Juniors are embracing the reality that, sooner than they might have imagined, they'll be the next group ordering caps and gowns. And some pre-school parents are excited about the fall, knowing their child's K-12 journey is about to begin with the new school year. First, though, it's the Memorial Day weekend then the end of this school year and then summer. Let's look at some key dates on the school calendar for the rest of this year and on through the 2025-26 school year. Congrats Class of 2025! See photos from high school graduations across Palm Beach County Memorial Day is May 26. It's the last day off from school this academic year before it ends with the last bell on May 30. Let the family vacations and summer jobs begin. The nearly 2½-month summer break ends on Aug. 11, with the start of the 2025-26 school year. Talk of backpacks, bus stops and early get-ups fill households as some families fall back into the school routine and others embrace it for the first time. The Thanksgiving break begins on Nov. 24 and runs through the week, with students returning to school on Dec. 1. It's a three-week push until the next big break for the winter holiday, which begins on Dec. 22 and runs through Jan. 5, 2026, with school beginning the next day on Jan. 6. Spring break begins on March 16. School resumes on March 24. From there, it's on to the Memorial Day holiday, which is on May 25. The 2025-26 school year ends on May 29. There are random days off throughout the school year beyond the big breaks for Thanksgiving, the winter holidays and spring break. It's all on the Palm Beach County School District calendar.
