This year’s winter break will begin three hours earlier than HPS had previously announced as a way to give students, families, and staff a little extra time to prepare for the holidays and spend time with loved ones.
Friday, December 22 will be a three-hour early release for students. Winter break will run through Monday, January 1, with a return to school on Tuesday, January 2. Schools will be closed again on Friday, January 5, in celebration of Three Kings Day and again on Monday, January 15, in recognition of Martin Luther King Day. Please visit our calendars page to view the updated calendar or three-hour early release schedule.
