33 years....hundreds of students....and The Legend has OFFICIALLY RETIRED!!
Congratulations to Mr. Alder on his much deserved retirement. You have dedicated so many years to the Huntington Charter School students and families. You will be greatly missed and know that your legacy will be remembered 🤍
In cooperation with the Huntington Historical Society, the junior class and their advisor built and installed a new metal fence around the Van Ornum Massacre marker on Huntington Hill. Thank you for helping preserve history!
Our sophomore class and their advisor planted flowers in the flower boxes at our local downtown buisnesses for their community project. Thank you sophomores!
Our middle school students and advisors decided to beautify the flowerbed as you are coming into town from Ontario. They added barrels and planted flowers to the area. Thank you for making our town better!
☀️Summer Food Service Program☀️
Did you know that "Summer Meals" are available in hundreds of communities throughout the state of Oregon, offering free meals and snacks to ALL kids 1-18. To receive a meal, kids can just drop by during a site's designated meal times.
Call 2-1-1 and an operator can help you find a site in your area.
Posted below are some local sites in Eastern Oregon.
Our middle and high school students have been doing some community service projects during the month of May. Today we want to highlight the Freshmen Class. They went up to the cemetary and cleaned grave stones. Great job freshmen and Mr. Larson!
