New Huntington Teacher Snapshot Profiles
Huntington School Board members have approved numerous teacher appointments at their last two meetings, refilling faculty vacancies created by a variety of circumstances, including retirements, leaves of absence and resignations to work elsewhere. When school reopens in September, administrators are confident that the district will be at full strength again.
