Universal Pre-Kindergarten Applications Now Available

The Huntington School District is accepting applications for its 2023/24 universal pre-kindergarten program. The deadline to submit an application is March 27.

The program is open to Huntington UFSD resident children who will be four years old by December 1, 2023. The program will follow the district’s school calendar.

Classes will be held at Flower Hill Primary School, Jefferson Primary School, Southdown Primary School and Washington Primary School and in local outside pre-kindergarten settings.
