The Overton County Schools Calendar of 2025-2026 education year is carefully designed and geometrically inclined to ensure a well-balanced ratio of school days of education and holidays. The 2025 school year will begin on August 20, 2025, and the days leading up to the start of the school year will include staff orientations and professional development. The breaks are major, such as Thanksgiving (November 24-28, 2025), Winter Break (Dec 22, 2025-January 2, 2026), and Spring Break (April 6 to 10, 2026). The most important holidays that occur in the course of the year are Labor Day (September 1), Veterans Day (November 11), Martin Luther King Jr Day (January 19), Presidents Day (Feb 16), and Memorial Day (May 25). The calendar has been structured such that the number of instructional days is 180 and has inclement weather built in as make-up days.
The end of the school year comes on June 11, 2026, with a staff in-service day being observed on June 12. The dates of the end of trimesters are November 14, March 13, and the last day of June. The professional development and staff-only days are spaced in accord throughout the year in order to facilitate the use of teacher training and curriculum planning. This schedule will support stable learning and give families and the staff enough time to plan vacations and breaks. The calendar highlights high priorities, including student performance, staff growth, and community fit.
