In observance of the federal Juneteenth holiday, all CUSD schools and offices will be closed on Friday, June 20, 2025. Also known as Emancipation Day or Freedom Day, Juneteenth commemorates the end of slavery in the United States and serves as a time to learn, reflect, and celebrate freedom and equality for all.
