Gulf County School District serves approximately 2,000 students in Port St. Joe, Wewahitchka, and surrounding communities on the Gulf of Mexico. Gulf County is a small coastal district encompassing Port St. Joe and Wewahitchka on the eastern Panhandle. The district was significantly impacted by Hurricane Michael in 2018 and has since rebuilt. The area is known for Cape San Blas and the pristine St. Joseph Peninsula.
County context: Gulf County School District serves families in Port St. For 2025-2026, students are scheduled to start on August 11, 2025 and finish on May 29, 2026. The main family planning blocks are Fall Break (October 13, 2025 - October 14, 2025), Thanksgiving Break (November 24, 2025 - November 28, 2025), Winter Break (December 22, 2025 - January 2, 2026), and Spring Break (March 16, 2026 - March 20, 2026). Parents can use this view for travel windows, shared-custody exchanges, childcare coverage, after-school activities, and comparing district days off with work schedules.
What to watch: Notable local calendar items include Fall Break (October 13, 2025 - October 14, 2025) and Easter Break (April 3, 2026 - April 6, 2026).

Teacher planning days and student holidays are separated from regular school days whenever the official source identifies them. Weather or makeup-day language is preserved in the page notes when the district publishes it, which matters for hurricane-season planning and emergency childcare coverage.
