Southdown School enables students to grow and learn academically, emotionally, socially and physically in a positive, nurturing, stimulating and consistent environment in order that they might become independent learners who value themselves, contribute to society and possess a love of learning. Teachers work together to make available a quality education, which is comprehensive, challenging and equitable so all students can and will learn. The Huntington Union Free School District is one of excellence in the state of New York in rural education and as long as the community, parents, teachers, and staff work together to develop the intellectual, social, moral, and physical development of each student, it will keeps its reputation. Teachers provide students a nurturing and forgiving atmosphere in which they are encouraged to take risks and yet feel secure within a consistent and supportive educational structure.
