Public Schools of Brookline School Calendar 2026-2027

At a Glance

BPS is a suburban school district with 13 schools. Brookline High School, part of the Public Schools of Brookline, was founded in 1843, making it one of the oldest public high schools in Massachusetts. The district has said a complete 2026-2027 calendar — including early dismissal dates — will be published soon. The calendar also notes several religious observances (Yom Kippur, Eid al-Fitr, Good Friday) for awareness — school stays in session on these days. This calendar includes 1 professional development day, 7 early-release or half days — useful to know when planning childcare. The last day of school is weather-contingent, ranging from June 21 to June 22 depending on how many built-in weather makeup days are used.
