Constitution Day

 
Mission:

September 17 has been set aside by Congress for all education institutions to provide education programs and information about the U.S. Constitution, which was signed on September 17, 1787. This year Constitution Day is officially observed on Wednesday, September 17, 2025.

 

The U.S. Constitution is the oldest written Constitution of any nation on Earth! It has withstood the test of time – over 230 years – and defines what we live by: the rule of law, limited government, and the ideals of liberty, equality, and justice. The Constitution was created by the people and for people. It is the foundation of our democracy and our rights as Americans.
