There's a place for every kind of student at Hun. The administration and teachers genuinely care and are invested in helping everyone succeed and find their unique path to college. The clubs and sports are top notch, especially the football program.

The teaching faculty were always caring and went above and beyond to support the students. A variety of clubs and activities were available to students. College counseling department could be stronger.

Hun has provided me 4 years of great memories and a lot of fun. The community here is unlike any other. The teachers are very passionate about what they do and that energy is contagious. The students feed off of that energy which allows them to bring their best everyday. I truly do enjoy coming to school each and every day to see what the day will bring. I will always remember my time at Hun and will look back fondly of all the fantastic relationships I have built with friends and teachers alike.

My son was a student at Hun about 10 years ago. In his freshman year, he was bullied by two classmates to the extent that he didn't want to go to school, and his grades were dropping. When he finally told me what was going on, I made an appointment to see the school psychologist. She "talked" to the...
