It has been a joy for my daughter to attend Huntington, she has enjoyed it very much. All the teachers and staff are very nice.

There is a family atmosphere at HPES that has existed since the school was built. It remains to be seen what the result of making it a grades 3-5 school will be, but there is no reason to expect things to change. We've loved the teachers and made wonderful friends through the PTA.
