Hunter Huss High School has been selected as one of 10 Innovation Schools in Gaston County for the 2025-26 academic year. Innovation Schools focus on using clear strategies and strong purpose to boost student success. Students receive extra instructional support, and teachers take on advanced roles to help students achieve their best.

As part of the Career Academy, we now offer students the chance to take cosmetology classes through a partnership with Gaston College.

The Hunter Huss High School Marching Band is known for its talented musicians and energetic performances. They bring school spirit to life at football games, parades, and community events throughout the year.

Hunter Huss High School was recognized by the North Carolina High School Athletic Association for outstanding sportsmanship during the 2023-2024 school year. The school did not have any athletes or coaches ejected from a game for the year.

Thanks to our partnership with Kintegra Health, we offer a telehealth clinic here at our school. Students, who are experiencing a minor illness or condition, can be seen by a medical provider virtually. This allows us to provide care for students without them having to leave school to go to the doctor.
