Monday No Holiday for City, Schools
Presidents Day is a federal, state and county holiday.
While federal, state and county offices including Gwinnett County will be closed Monday (Feb. 21) for Presidents Day, Suwanee City Hall will be open as usual.
Instead of a holiday, students in Gwinnett County Public Schools will have a snow makeup day Monday. Other snow makeup days are scheduled March 14 and May 26. The dates for two additional snow makeup days for a missed week of school in January due to the severe snow/ice storm have not been determined.
Presidents Day is not a trash and recycling holiday so haulers will follow the normal trash and recycling schedule the week of Feb. 21.

Abraham Lincoln’s Feb. 12 birthday and George Washington’s Feb. 22 birthday used to be observed separately as holidays. In 1971, President Nixon combined the two holidays into Presidents Day to be observed on the third Monday in February in honor of all past U.S. presidents.
