Preston County Schools Calendar 2024–2025 are not dates. It is a heartbeat. It is a reminder of learning from classrooms that were filled with firsts, smiles, and learning. Each bell, each page, each pause reminding of learning and love.
At Preston County school, class is more than the sum of its parts. It’s where dreams are dreamed, character is built and memories are created. The calendar doesn’t simply tick by, but move ahead — for pupils, teachers, and families.
It’s a year of blow up, of discovery and belonging to each other.
The First Day of School: New Faces and Fresh Starts
First day of school: rain followed by sun. Parents are outside, beaming. The teachers are outside, beaming and wide opening their big arms to envelop the children in greeting. New books, new bags, and new dreams are all around us.
There is hallway talk. There are homecomings with friends over summer break. There is welcoming teachers and finding out what they will be learning this year. There is laughter, shyness, and mountains of expectation.
Weeks before the weekend, there is activity. Classrooms buzz. Clubs and sports start. The year starts to take on its awesome rhythm.
