We Won't Forget: Schools Closed on November 11th, 2025 for Veterans Day

This year's Veterans Day falls on a Tuesday, November 11th, 2025, a stark contrast to previous celebrations that were often marred by inclement weather. While many families and friends will take the opportunity to remember and honor the sacrifices of the nation's veterans, schools across the country will be closed in observance of this federal holiday. From San Francisco's public school district to the New York City Department of Education, schools will join together to celebrate the legacy of courage and service that Veterans Day embodies.

A National Holiday

As with every year since 1938, November 11th has been set aside to honor the men and women who have fought and continue to fight for our nation's freedom. Originally known as Armistice Day, the name was changed to Veterans Day in 1954 to encompass the broader scope of service members' sacrifices. In addition to the closures, local governments and organizations have announced a plethora of events and activities to coincide with the day: museums are offering free admission, community centers are hosting parades, and many businesses are offering discounts to veterans.

The Meaning of Veterans Day

Veterans Day is a poignant reminder of the high stakes and sacrifices that are often glossed over in everyday conversations. According to a White House statement, 'Veterans Day is an opportunity for us to honor the service and sacrifice of the men and women who have worn our nation's uniform, to recognize their bravery and patriotism, and to express our gratitude for their contributions.' For many, the day is a poignant opportunity to connect with their own history – for Dr. Susan Wilson, Director of the National Museum of Theatre & Performance, "it's a moment to consider the whole trajectory of one's life, to reflect on who we are today, and how our past, particularly our service, has gotten us where we are."

Schools and Veterans Day

But what about schools? How do students and faculty decide to mark this momentous occasion?

At the Milford School District in New Jersey, students will be divided into smaller groups to research and create presentations on key themes related to Veterans Day. Between school assemblies, productions of American military music, and fundraising events in support of local veteran resources, students and staff have planned their respective roles in the district-wide celebration with precision.

In New York City, 148 different school districts held a forum earlier this month where community organizations vied for attention and proposal resources for future summer projects. School administrators were forced to make difficult decisions on who and what would prevail, and exactly how to collectively honor the men and women who made serving in the armed forces possible.
