Reply to comment by CARLEtheCamry in Pittsburgh Public School canceled for tomorrow. by UnsurprisingDebris

That's crazy. My high school would have gotten off around the 16th and wouldn't be back until the 7th-ish.

Wow yeah that's way more than I got. I went to a Catholic school for kindergarten through 8th and then a public high school, and we usually went to only a day or two before Christmas Eve, and then went back around January 3rd or 4th.

Which state are you from? I've never heard of a high school finishing up for the year in mid December.

I'm from Alabama. We started a few weeks earlier than y'all appear to, which probably makes up for some of those days, but that's crazy to me. I would really think that PA would want to try to maximize winter break days for weather safety reasons? We also got a week off for Thanksgiving.

Ah gotcha, the South loves to start school early. Yeah besides Christmas, I don't remember ever getting more than two or three days off at a time for breaks during Thanksgiving and around Easter.
