The district’s board of trustees approved adjusting the academic calendar Sept. 16.
The context
The calendar change will allow the district to finish graduations earlier in the Memorial Day weekend. In the original academic calendar, graduations were May 23-24.
“We want to make sure those celebrations are honoring the hard work that our students have done for 13 years in order to get that high school diploma,” Superintendent Holly Ferguson said. “We felt like this was a good compromise.”
The action taken
The last day of school for high school students will be a half day on Thursday, May 22, 2025. Pre-K, elementary and middle school students will finish the school year on a half day Friday, May 23, 2025.
Graduation ceremonies will be:
- Prosper High School: Thursday, May 22, 2025, at 7 p.m.
- Rock Hill High School: Friday, May 23, 2025, at 9 a.m.
- Walnut Grove High School: Friday, May 23, 2025, at 7 p.m.
