Fall Adult & Continuing Education Classes Announced

The Huntington School District’s Adult and Continuing Education program has been a mainstay in the community since the 1940s. That same tradition continues today. The fall brochure of classes, workshops and seminars has been mailed to residents and posted on the district website.

The program’s high quality and diversified offerings has pleased residents for decades. Many have taken classes year after year and continue to do so. The relaxed atmosphere and meaningful material has proven popular.

Fall classes begin the week of October 9. Online registration and payment is available now by logging onto https://bit.ly/476miH7. Once on the page of class listings, you can use filters to narrow the display of courses to specific days of the week.https://bit.ly/476miH7
