Students are off for Spring Vacation from to , 5 days counting weekends and 5 weekdays counting Monday through Friday. Spring Vacation is the longest break, 5 days from start to finish.
The longest run without a listed closure runs to , covering 46 potential weekdays after excluding only the exceptions recorded here.
4 other days off are marked as holidays: Labor Day (), MLK Jr. Day (), Good Friday () and Memorial Day (). For a three-day weekend, look at Labor Day, MLK Jr. Day, Good Friday and Memorial Day, which sit next to a weekend.
