The state law Substitute House File No. 28 allows residents of school corporations without a four year high school to attend any high school that accepts them if tuition does not exceed the local average. Applicants must present certificates from their home district and county superintendent, proving residency and proficiency in common branches. Non residents may still attend Humeston lower grades with tuition. Humeston schools plan next year to offer teaching preparatory courses in history arithmetic grammar algebra agriculture bookkeeping and more.
