Most K–12 public schools in the U.S. do not have class on Presidents Day, but it is not guaranteed everywhere and many colleges still hold classes.

What usually happens

  • Presidents Day (the third Monday in February) is a federal holiday, so federal offices and many public institutions close.
  • Many public school districts treat it as a day off and build it into their calendar, sometimes as part of a mid‑winter break.
  • However, some districts stay open and use it as a regular school day, depending on how they structure their year.

What about college?

  • For a lot of colleges and universities, Presidents Day is just a normal Monday with regular classes.
  • This is different from many high and middle schools, which more often give students the day off.

How to know if you have school

  • Check your school or district’s online academic calendar for February; holidays and breaks are usually clearly marked.
  • Look at recent emails, texts, or app notifications from your school, or call the main office if you are still unsure.

TL;DR: “Do we have school on Presidents Day?” depends on your specific school or district, so always double‑check your own calendar.
