The Ashland School District offices will be closed on Friday, June 19, in observance of Juneteenth, a federal holiday commemorating the end of slavery in the United States. Regular office hours will resume Monday, June 22. We wish our students, families, staff, and community a meaningful Juneteenth as we reflect on this important part of our nation's history.
