Adult Ed Program Registration
Set for February 8
The Huntington School District's adult education program will hold spring semester registration on Wednesday, February 8 in the Huntington High School lobby from 6-9 p.m. for a variety of interesting and informative courses. The district has been offering adult education courses to residents for more than 55 years.
Regular course fees are set at $15 for resident senior citizens (60 years of age and over whenever space is available, except for those classes marked special fee or limited), $55 for other district residents and $65 for those living outside the Huntington School District.
Fees do vary based on the specific course and the duration of the class. (One day seminars can run as little as $20 for residents.) Spring classes begin the week of February 28/March 1.
