Is school in session on Memorial Day?

I've been trying to plan out my schedule for the next school year, and I'm curious if we usually have school on Memorial Day. I know that holidays can affect the school calendar, but I'm not entirely sure how it works for this particular day. If anyone knows whether high schools typically have the day off or if it varies by district, that would be super helpful. I've got family plans that weekend, so I want to figure out if I can miss any school without getting into trouble.

Generally speaking, most public schools in the U.S., including high schools, observe Memorial Day as a holiday and do not meet for classes that day. This national observance is usually incorporated into the academic calendar as a day off in remembrance of those who have served and lost their lives in the armed forces. However, it's always best to make sure you confirm this with your specific school or district, as there might be some exceptions in rare cases, though I would say those are fairly uncommon. If you're planning activities that might conflict with your school schedule, you should always consult your school's academic calendar or check with a school official to make sure you won't be missing important class days.
