I am a parent with a child that go's to HHS and my child have a 4.2 GPA. I am a little put out with people wanting to put down Huntington. Do not put down the school step up and work with us.

This is school is what you would call "hood" or whatever,but Huntington provides academic success for all students. This school may have some bad children and I know that our rates on just about everything is low,but this year,2k14 it's going to change!

Everything about this school is stupid. The staff is lazy, the teachers don't do their job, and the students are bad. I'm surprised this school hasn't been shut down.
