Fall 2024 for High School (9–12)
The Fall 2024 semester runs from August 26, 2024 through December 13, 2024 as part of the 2024-2025 Academic Year school year. For high-school students, parents, counselors, and 9–12 teachers, this semester is anchored by the federal holidays observed in the fall term and the High School-specific milestones layered on top of the OPM federal calendar.
High school calendars on PrintCalendars line up AP exams, SAT/ACT national dates, and college admissions deadlines with the standard August–July school year so seniors and juniors can see the full runway on one printable page.

Printing tips for letter-size paper
Print the months above in portrait orientation on US Letter (8.5 × 11 in) paper at 100% scale for the standard printable layout, or switch each month to landscape when you need wider day cells for written notes. The High School milestones listed here are layered onto the federal calendar — they do not replace it, so a single printed sheet works across siblings in different grade bands.
