Henry County Schools Calendar 2026-27: Winter Break Is Feb. 15-19

Henry County Schools (HCS) in Georgia lists “Winter Break - Feb. 15-19” for 2027, and “Semester Break - Dec. 21-Jan. 5” for the December break, according to the district’s Calendars page. Thanksgiving Break is Nov. 23-27, 2026, Spring Break is Apr. 5-9, 2027, and the last day of school is May 26, 2027. This is the district in McDonough, Ga., not Henry County, Tenn.

The page shows the calendar as “Approved 2-10-25”. Its PDF marks many other days only by color, so the table below spells out every day without in-person school that is still ahead, with the weekday, and a printable break planner follows.

When is winter break in Henry County Schools?

The district’s “Winter Break” is in February, and the December break has a different name. The page lists these breaks for 2026-27:

Break	District’s dates	Calendar days
Fall Break (past)	Mon., Oct. 5 to Fri., Oct. 9, 2026	5
Thanksgiving Break	Mon., Nov. 23 to Fri., Nov. 27, 2026	5
Semester Break	Mon., Dec. 21, 2026 to Tue., Jan. 5, 2027	16
Winter Break	Mon., Feb. 15 to Fri., Feb. 19, 2027	5
Spring Break	Mon., April 5 to Fri., April 9, 2027	5

Day counts are simple date arithmetic: Dec. 21 to Jan. 5 spans 16 calendar days, and the district lists “2nd Semester Starts - Jan. 6”, a Wednesday in 2027. In the district’s PDF, Dec. 21-25, Dec. 28-31 and Jan. 1 are system closed days, and Jan. 4-5 are marked “Students Out Only”, which are teacher days.

The February break has its own mix. Feb. 15 is a system closed day, Feb. 16-18 are days students and teachers are out, and Feb. 19 is an asynchronous learning day for students and a half workday of professional development (PD) for teachers. The February 2027 printable calendar shows the week.

Which days have no in-person school after Nov. 8, 2026?

The PDF does not print the holiday names behind Jan. 18 and May 31. They fall on Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Memorial Day by date. Earlier this fall the PDF showed asynchronous learning on Fri., Sept. 4 and Tue., Nov. 3, and the system closed on Mon., Sept. 7, the Labor Day date.

Is there school on Veterans Day in Henry County?

The district’s PDF does not mark Wednesday, Nov. 11, 2026 as closed, so it is a regular school day on the calendar. Check with your school for any local change.

What are the asynchronous learning days?

The district’s PDF marks Sept. 4 and Nov. 3, 2026, and Feb. 12, Feb. 19 and March 19, 2027 as student asynchronous learning days. On each of those dates the PDF also lists district PD or a teacher workday. It does not print what work students get, so ask your school.

When does Thanksgiving Break start in Henry County?

Thanksgiving Break runs Monday, Nov. 23 through Friday, Nov. 27, 2026, a full week. Our November 2026 printable calendar shows the weeks around it, and the Thanksgiving break 2026 school districts story lists other districts. Other Georgia districts include Cobb County and DeKalb County.

Was the 2026-27 calendar changed after it was approved?

The district’s entry reads “Approved 2-10-25”. The Henry Reporter wrote on Feb. 11, 2025 that board members “approved the calendars with no changes from what was shared last month”. The PDF file name mentions an amended version, but we found no board amendment, so the dates here are the ones the district lists now. The district’s page also lists a 2027-28 calendar, with the first day on Aug. 2, 2027.
