The 2025-2026 school year will begin on August 12, and will conclude on May 21, with graduation for all three high schools planned for May 22 at the Credit Union of Texas Event Center in Allen.
"The district had several goals while putting together the 2025–2026 calendar," said Dr. Shelly Spaulding, MISD assistant superintendent of public relations, communications, and support services. "We wanted to seek input from our stakeholders, and we utilized a variety of staff, student, and parent committees and groups to gather feedback. It was also important that it remain in line with Collin College and neighboring districts; that the school year would start in August and conclude before Memorial Day; that we offer professional learning opportunities throughout the school year for our teachers and staff; and that it would again this year include a Fall Break for students and teachers. And, we were able to achieve all of those goals."
Parents and students will want to take note of the following student holidays built into the 2025–2026 calendar:
September 1 — Labor Day
October 13-17 — Fall Break
November 24-28 — Thanksgiving
December 22-January 2 — Winter Holiday
