Spring 2026 for High School (9–12)
The Spring 2026 semester runs from January 12, 2026 through May 8, 2026 as part of the 2025-2026 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 spring 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.
