Hicksville High Celebrates Homecoming

The community came out to celebrate their Hicksville spirit and cheer on the Comets.

HICKSVILLE, NY — Hicksville High School’s field was buzzing with school spirit as students, staff and the community came together to celebrate homecoming on Oct. 8.

Prior to the start of the game, the school hosted its annual Homecoming Fair. Activities, games, spirit wear, gift basket raffles, food and refreshments were offered at various tables, which were operated by students, parents and school community organizations. Children were also able to play on inflatable slides and bouncy houses.

The celebration kicked off with a procession of the marching band, cheerleaders and the kickline team, as well as the four classes who displayed banners with this year’s theme of fairy tales. The sophomore class took home best-banner honor for their “gingerbread man” design.
