📅 Hancock County School District Calendar Vote for 2026–2027
We’re excited to share two calendar options for next school year, and we want to hear from our families, students, and community!
🎬 Watch this quick video to learn more: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G56XbOE0aHo
Both options are nearly identical. The only difference is the October teacher workday:
🍂 Option A – Monday, October 12 (the Monday right after Fall Break)
🎃 Option B – Friday, October 30 (the day before Halloween)
Both calendars keep breaks similar to this year and still allow us to wrap up the school year before the Memorial Day holiday.
🗳️ Please take a moment to cast your vote by December 12:
