Many of the most skilled artists, musicians and drama club staff members in Huntington High School’s Class of 2019 intend to pursue academic majors in the fine and performing arts at colleges beginning in the fall semester.
Huntington High School offers students courses in the fine and performing arts that are unsurpassed. Besides an assortment of interesting classes, students have access to a long list of music ensembles and choirs, exhibits, competitions and shows as well as a drama club program that stages fall and spring productions.
