HLCC operates on a school year schedule beginning in August each fall and ending in May the following spring.
With some exceptions, we generally follow the Southwest Licking School academic calendar for holidays and school breaks.
We also hold a summer shorts program for one week each summer, usually in mid-July.
For student safety, our full calendar and schedule of events is not publicly available. Current parents/guardians may access this calendar through the password protected parent page HERE.
