An Afternoon Of Homecoming Festivities At East Meadow High School

EAST MEADOW, NY — East Meadow High School and the community celebrated homecoming on Oct. 16 with a parade and football game against Port Washington.

Starting from Veteran’s Memorial Park and led by the East Meadow High School marching band, school administrators, board members, faculty and students marched through the neighborhood to the high school.

The theme for this year’s floats was “superheroes.” While students riding on the floats threw treats to those supporting them, members of the homecoming court were escorted throughout the parade, followed by the high school’s cheerleading and kickline teams.

After performances by the kickline team, cheerleaders and the marching band, halftime celebrations concluded with the crowning of the homecoming king Matthew Oberhaus and queen Brianna Mohammed.

The East Meadow Jets lost a nail-biter to the Port Washington Vikings, with a final score of 30-28.
