Athletics

Huntington Prep School

Since 2009, Huntington Prep School was originally housed within St. Joseph Central Catholic High School, but in 2020 ended that relationship.[2] The students were regular St. Joseph's students. They had to abide by the rules and regulations of the high school. After becoming accepted in the school, Huntington Prep became Huntington St. Joseph Prep (even wearing the St. Joe emblem on the uniforms).[3][4] Since 2021, Huntington Prep became part of Cabell County Schools after they moved host schools to Huntington High School.
