Adult Ed Program Registration Set for September 15
The Huntington School District's adult education program will hold fall semester registration on Wednesday, September 15 in the Huntington High School lobby from 6-9 p.m. for a variety of interesting and informative courses. The district has been offering adult education courses to residents for six decades.
Regular course fees are set at $15 for resident senior citizens (60 years of age and over whenever space is available, except for those classes marked special fee or limited), $55 for other district residents and $65 for those living outside the Huntington School District.
Fees vary based on the specific course and the duration of the class. (One day seminars can run as little as $20 for residents.) Fall classes begin the week of September 27.
The fall course bulletin can be found on the district's website at www.hufsd.edu; Click on the School Community tab and then on the adult education link and then "Forms and Files" to access the brochure. The publication contains course locations, room numbers and scheduling information.
