All GCPS locations will be closed on Monday, June 20, in observance of Juneteenth.
Last year, in 2021, President Biden signed legislation making Juneteenth a federal holiday. President Biden said it was one of the greatest honors he would have as president.
In honor of Juneteenth and in alignment with its status as a federal holiday, GCPS has also adopted Juneteenth as an official district holiday. This means all schools and offices will be closed, and all-district activities, including Summer Learning programs, will be canceled for the Juneteenth holiday. Because Juneteenth falls on Sunday this year, according to board policy, all GCPS locations will be closed on Monday, June 20, 2022.
