Calendar: https://bit.ly/2KLnq9R

Key dates for the 2019-2020 school year for all 25 Harris County school districts are available through Harris County Department of Education’s comprehensive school district calendar.

Harris County Department of Education compiles the calendar each year which includes the school year’s beginning and end dates, holidays, and teacher workdays for multiple districts.

About half the districts return to school on Aug. 14 or 15. All public schools are back in session by Aug. 26, including the largest district in the state, Houston Independent School District.

Thanksgiving holidays are observed by all districts from Nov. 25-29 and winter break begins Dec. 20 in some schools and Dec. 23 in the remainder. All staff return to school in 2020 on Jan. 3.

Spring break is generally observed from March 9-13 or from March 16-20.

Staff workdays and other holidays vary from district to district. Classes end as early as May 21 (Alief, Katy and Pearland) or as late as June 3 (Huffman and Sheldon).
