The Great Neck Public Schools 2025-2026 school year runs from September 2, 2025 to June 26, 2026. Serving approximately 6,800 students on the North Shore of Long Island, Great Neck is famed for its immense academic resources and two highly competitive high schools (North and South).
Great Neck's school calendar is uniquely complex due to its profoundly diverse population. Few districts in the country officially observe as many cultural holidays—including Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Diwali, Lunar New Year, and Eid. Tracking these widespread closures is essential for Nassau County parents managing childcare and travel.
