This school has a lot of opportunities to do many different sports and activities. There are many students who do sports and then are also in a lot of clubs and the teachers help coordinate so then those students could do both of these extracurriculars at the same time. The problems with the school all source from the administration. The problem is that they make many restrictive rules on things like phones and clothes but they rarely enforce those rules in the first place. This leads to a worse experience for people who follow the rules and creates some salutary neglect within the school.

I came to Huntington High School for my senior year. I wanted to play football at a school with better opportunity for myself and my family. I like the new friends that I've met here and the faculty and coaches have been very welcoming.

Huntington High School has been an adventure the past four years I have been here. I will say my counselor is the best person at this high school. She is always there to help and on top of everything. I have done three sports here the entire time i have been here too and it has made school 10 times better. I am the only female wrestler at this school and the coaches have always been there to get me through everything.
