Celebrating Public Schools Week 2026

From February 23–27, 2026, we’re proud to join schools, districts, educators, families, and public education advocates nationwide in celebrating Public Schools Week 2026 (#PSW26).

This year’s theme—“Building Stronger, Fairer, and More Resilient Public Education Systems”—highlights the essential role public schools play in strengthening communities, expanding opportunity, and preparing every learner to thrive. Throughout the week, we’ll spotlight the people, partnerships, and practices that help public schools meet today’s challenges while preparing kids for their best future. Each day of Public Schools Week focuses on a key pillar:

• Monday: Building a Stronger, Fairer, and More Resilient Public Education System
• Tuesday: Boosting Teaching and Learning, Building Brighter Futures
• Wednesday: Strong Leaders, Strong Schools
• Thursday: Partnering with Families and Communities to Power Learning
• Friday: Supporting and Empowering Educators

We invite everyone to engage in messaging throughout the week—and to lean in even more on the days that resonate most with your school, district, or organization. Together, we can elevate our local public schools and celebrate the work happening in classrooms and communities every day.
