Senior James Fitzsimmons Crowned 'Mr Heights 2013'

The annual "Mr. Heights" pageant never fails to be one of the most highly anticipated nights of the year. This year was no different as 12 male high school students vied for the title showing off their talents, smarts and swimsuits in front of a packed audience last week.

High school senior James "Fitz" Fitzsimmons was crowned the 2013 "Mr. Heights." The senior, a member of the football and track teams, is a veteran of the pageant having competed previous years.

Once again the contestants went all out in the talent competition making the audience laugh, scream and cheer. The boys sang ballads, danced to some crazy tunes. Freshman Scott Salerno did a stand up comedy routine. There was even some juggling from Roland Gamez.

Fitzsimmons and his crew literally lit up the stage with their dance routine as the foursome was covered in multi-colored glowsticks resulting in a comical and fun dance medley which included the "Harlem Shake" and even "I Believe I Can Fly."

Another highlight was senior Frank Altamura and his crew who put on ladies wigs and shook their stuff to Beyonce's "Single Ladies."

As always middle school vice principal Nick "The Real Mr. Heights" DelCalzo hosted the event which of course included the big dance-off.

Out of the 12 contestants it came down to five - Kevin O'Leary, Chris Golio,  Andrew Cupo, Altamura and Fitzsimmons.

Others in the competition were Robert Klenk, Kevin O'Leary, Ryan O'Connor, Chris Verdi, Steven Salerno and Khaled Abdelmaged.
