 Huntington High School (which combined "Old" Huntington High School and Huntington East High School) was originally called Cabell West High School during the school project planning period.The name was then changed to Huntington Summit when the name of the other public high school in Cabell County was changed to Cabell Midland.The Cabell County Board of Education then decided that the new school should have connections to the two schools, Huntington High and Huntington East, that were being consolidated together.
