Huntington High School to Host Annual Fall College Fair

Huntington High School will host its annual Fall College Fair on Tuesday, October 20, 2026, providing juniors and seniors with an opportunity to connect with college representatives and explore postsecondary options.

The College Fair will take place in the High School Gymnasium during Periods 2 and 3 and is open to all Huntington High School juniors and seniors. Passes will be distributed through ELA classes closer to the event.

More than 50 colleges and universities are currently slated to attend, representing a wide range of institutions from New York and across the country. Students will have the opportunity to learn about academic programs, admission requirements, campus life, scholarships, financial aid, and other aspects of the college experience.

“College exploration is about more than simply identifying a list of schools,” said Dr. Ricky Papandrea, Director of School Counseling & Testing, K–12. “The College Fair gives our students a valuable opportunity to ask questions, make connections, and learn about the many pathways available to them after high school. Whether they have a clear idea of where they want to attend or are still exploring, there is something for everyone.”

Bernadette Walsh, School Counselor in Huntington High School’s College and Career Center, encourages students to take advantage of the opportunity to speak directly with representatives.

“The College Fair allows students to have meaningful conversations and learn about colleges they may not have previously considered,” Walsh said. “We encourage our juniors and seniors to come prepared with questions and take advantage of this opportunity to explore their options.”

Students are encouraged to research colleges ahead of time and prepare questions about programs, admissions, campus life, scholarships, athletics, and career opportunities.

Adelphi University • Albertus Magnus College • Alfred University • Alvernia University • Clarkson University • CUNY Baruch College • Dean College • DeSales University • East Stroudsburg University • Eastern Connecticut State University • Elon University • Five Towns College • Florida Southern College • George Mason University • Iona University • James Madison University • Johnson & Wales University • King’s College • Lafayette College • Long Island University • Loyola University Maryland • Lynn University • Marywood University • Massachusetts College of Pharmacy & Health Sciences • Molloy University • Mount Saint Mary College • Nassau Community College • New York Institute of Technology • Quinnipiac University • Rider University • Roger Williams University • Seton Hall University • Springfield College • St. Joseph’s University-New York • Suffolk County Community College • SUNY Albany • SUNY Brockport • SUNY Canton • SUNY Farmingdale • SUNY New Paltz • SUNY Oneonta • SUNY Potsdam • SUNY Purchase • University of Arizona • University of Massachusetts Boston • University of Rhode Island • University of Scranton • Utica University • Vermont State University • Western Connecticut State University • Western New England University • Worcester Polytechnic Institute
