Huntington North High School is a public high school serving all of Huntington County, Indiana. The school is operated by the Huntington County Community School Corporation.
Huntington North opened in 1969; the school opened over a month late into the school year due to construction projects.[4] With minimal repairs made to the building over 50 years, a 2019 test that resulted in high carbon dioxide levels led some parents to disenroll their children from the school.[5] A November 2019 referendum to build a new academic wing, performing arts wing and technical education wing failed.[6]
For the 2018-19 school year, the demographic breakdown of the 1,459 students was:
Huntington North, home of the Vikings, is a member of the Northeast Eight Conference. The school's colors are red, white, and black. The girls basketball team took the state title in 1990 and 1995.[7]
The school yearbook, Deka, won a National Pacemaker Award in 1995.[8]
HNHS fields two competitive show choirs, the mixed-gender "Varsity Singers" and the all-female "Viking Volume".[9] Both groups have claimed caption awards at ISSMA small-school state championships.[10] The program also hosts an annual competition, the Midwest Showcase.[11]
