J. Taylor Finley Middle School eighth graders probably have a long list of questions concerning the academic program and choices awaiting them as Huntington High School freshmen. Many of those questions will be answered on Friday when the high school’s art road show visits the Greenlawn Road school.
“Eighth graders will have the opportunity to learn about the art department’s electives at Huntington High School,” said Eric Reynolds, district director of fine and performing arts. “Each year, the art teachers travel to Finley to present examples of student work from the high school and speak with students about the courses offered and their interests.”
An informative digital map has been prepared for students and their parents to help guide them through the department’s course offerings.

“Huntington High School has such a great variety of art classes to offer, especially for incoming freshmen,” said Jazlyn Chapas-Oliva, co-president of the Art Honor Society. “From creating your own original films to traditional painting and drawing, there’s an art class for every interest. Not only does Huntington High School offer quality art classes, but the teachers here are so helpful and insightful to your artistic growth and goals. I really hope that every incoming freshman takes advantage of the art program here, especially if they’re considering pursuing a career in the arts!”
