South Huntington Union Free School District is a school district in the Town Of Huntington Suffolk County, New York. The district serves parts of the hamlets of Greenlawn, West Hills, South Huntington, Melville, Elwood, Dix Hills and Huntington Station. [2]
The South Huntington Union Free School District of today was founded in 1924 with the combination of South Huntington Common District and West Hills Common District (districts numbers 12 and 13) at the time. The community was growing rapidly, and didn't have enough space for students with the format in place at the time. Neither district was allowed to construct a new school, which was needed to conform to the district;s growth. [3] The new district opened its first school in 1928, known then as the Central School, it is still open today as the Whitman Atrium in Huntington Station. The Central School was replaced as the district's high school by Walt Whitman High School later on. [4]
