Graduations and End of the School Year
In Palm Beach County, the end of the school year is an exciting time for students, staff, and parents. As the academic year draws to a close, the focus shifts to graduations and celebrating the achievements of our seniors.
I am proud to share the details of the upcoming graduation ceremonies and the final days of the school year.
Graduation Ceremonies
Graduations for seniors in Palm Beach County will take place from May 9 to May 23, 2024. These ceremonies are a culmination of years of hard work and dedication, with students transitioning to the next chapter of their lives. Most graduation ceremonies will be held at the South Florida Fairgrounds, a prestigious venue befitting the significance of this milestone accomplishment.
The graduation schedule is as follows:
| Date | High School |

Final Days of the School Year
The last day of school for all students in Palm Beach County School District will be on May 30, 2024. It’s a significant day for students as they bid farewell to their classmates and teachers, marking the end of another successful academic year.
Please note that the last week of the school year will be a four-day week, as Memorial Day will be observed on May 26, 2024. This will give students and staff an extended weekend to honor and remember those who have served our country.
Additionally, it’s essential to acknowledge and appreciate the hard work of our 12-month employees. In recognition of Juneteenth, a paid day off has been scheduled for these dedicated individuals on June 19, 2024.
As we approach the end of the school year, let us cherish the memories made, celebrate the accomplishments of our graduates, and look forward to a well-deserved summer break. The Palm Beach County School Calendar ensures that we stay informed and prepared for these important events, providing a seamless transition into the next academic year.
