Complete month-by-month calendar for Franklin County Public Schools. Every day is color-coded so you can see school days, holidays, and breaks at a glance.
Franklin County School District is one of the smallest districts in Florida, serving approximately 1,000 students in Apalachicola, Eastpoint, Carrabelle, and the surrounding coastal communities of the Gulf Coast. Franklin County has a single pre-K through 12 campus, the Franklin County School, where all grade levels share one centralized facility.
\nThe district is unique in Florida for its entirely seafood-driven economy — Apalachicola Bay produces the majority of Florida's oysters. Students grow up in a close-knit community where families have lived for generations. Despite its small size, the district offers career and technical programs and partners with Gulf Coast State College for dual enrollment. Franklin County consistently maintains high parent engagement thanks to its small-school advantage, with some of the lowest student-to-teacher ratios in the state.
The first day of school for Franklin County students is August 11, 2026.
Spring Break runs from March 15, 2027 through March 19, 2027. Good Friday/Easter Break is March 26-29.
The last day of school for the 2026-2027 year is May 27, 2027.
