Thanksgiving break runs November 23–27, but November 30 is a teacher professional development day, so students return December 1.

Spring break is March 15–19, followed by regular classes March 22–25 and a separate Good Friday/Easter break March 26–29.
Seniors finish regular classes May 14, with recognition May 25 and graduation May 27. May 27 is also the last day for other students. The district's PDF does not give ceremony times. Testing windows and the June 3 final report-card date do not add regular school days.
Early release is scheduled for October 16, 2026, for Homecoming and May 27, 2027, the last student day. Students attend on both dates. The annual PDF does not give dismissal times, so families should check school pickup and bus notices.
