Lubbock Schools Calendar: Lubbock Schools classes kick off for students on Thursday, August 13, 2025, with staff development and open-house events in the week. Winter break spans the holiday season, typically starting just before Christmas Eve and wrapping up in early January, giving students and staff a well-deserved pause. The spring break runs from Monday, March 16, to Friday, March 20, 2026.
School then continues through the spring, and the last day of the academic year for high school students is in late May, with an early-release schedule. Recently, Lubbock High dismissed around May 22, 2025, suggesting a similar timeframe for 2026. After that, summer break begins, stretching from late May/early June through mid-August, when the cycle resets.
