Huntington Prep or Huntington Expression Prep is a basketball-focused college preparatory school located in Huntington, West Virginia. Huntington Prep was originally unrelated to the public Huntington High School located in the same city, though now Huntington Prep players go to school at Huntington High after Huntington Prep's host relationship with St. Joseph Central Catholic High School ended in 2020.




School


Huntington Prep was originally housed within St. Joseph Central Catholic High School, a religious school, but in 2020 ended that relationship. The students were regular St. Joseph's students and had to abide by the rules and regulations of the high school. After becoming an accepted part of the school, Huntington Prep became Huntington St. Joseph Prep (even wearing the St. Joe emblem on the uniforms). Since 2021, Huntington Prep became part of Cabell County Schools after they moved host schools to Huntington High School.




Basketball program


Huntington Prep is a highly ranked basketball program and features some of the world's top high school-level players.
The team practices at the Marshall University Rec Center and resides in Huntington, West Virginia, with "home" games formerly played at the now demolished Veterans Memorial Fieldhouse, then the St. Joseph High School gym. They now play at Huntington High School, with some home games scheduled at Marshall University's Cam Henderson Center.
Huntington Prep's first player to be drafted in the NBA was former Louisville Cardinal and national champion Gorgui Dieng in 2013, and was later selected 21st overall by the Utah Jazz. Later that year in 2013, Andrew Wiggins was the number one pick in the 2014 NBA draft after playing college basketball for the University of Kansas.
