Houston County Schools' 2026-2027 source gives August 4, 2026 as the first student date and May 26, 2027 as the final student date.
The break sequence includes Student Holiday on October 9, 2026; Fall Break on October 12-16, 2026; Thanksgiving Break on November 23-27, 2026; Winter Break on December 21, 2026 through January 4, 2027; Student Holiday on March 26, 2027; Spring Break on March 29-April 2, 2027.

A useful reading note for this 2026-2027 calendar: Student Holiday appears in more than one block, so the dates are kept in chronological order rather than merged into a single label. Winter Break crosses the calendar year from December 21, 2026 through January 4, 2027, which is the date range to check when planning the January return. The final student date, May 26, 2027, is also labeled Half Day, All Students.
