High School (9–12) planning for the 2029–2030 year
This is the High School (9–12) view of the 2029–2030 school-year calendar, built for high-school students, parents, counselors, and 9–12 teachers. A high school calendar that respects what actually matters to 9–12 families: AP exams, college deadlines, prom, and graduation. Every milestone listed on this page lines up with the standard August-to-July academic structure used by most US public school districts: a late-August start, the federal holiday corridor through fall and winter, a March or April spring break, and a May commencement window.
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. The school year opens on Monday, August 27 and runs through commencement on Friday, May 17, 2030. Fall semester finals begin December 10; spring semester finals begin May 6.
What to expect this year
- Freshman orientation and class elections (Aug)
- PSAT, SAT, and ACT national test dates (Aug–Jun)
- AP exam window (first two weeks of May)
- Homecoming week and pep rally (Sep–Oct)
- Early-action and early-decision college deadlines (Nov 1 and Nov 15)
- Regular decision college deadlines (Jan 1, Jan 15)
- FAFSA priority dates and senior signing day (Apr–May)
- Prom, finals, and graduation (May–Jun)
Federal holidays in this view
This High School layout shades the same eleven US federal holidays that appear on every PrintCalendars layout — Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, New Year's Day, MLK Day, Presidents' Day, Memorial Day, Juneteenth, and Independence Day. The grade-band annotations are layered on top of the federal calendar rather than replacing it, so families and teachers can use the same printed sheet across siblings in different grade bands.
Printing this calendar
The High School calendar prints clean on US Letter and ISO A4 paper without scaling. Use the Print button on each monthly grid for a single-page printable view, or open the academic-year overview to print the full twelve-month set.
