PHOTOS: An afternoon of homecoming festivities in East Meadow High School

East Meadow High School and the surrounding community celebrated homecoming on Oct. 14 with a football game against Baldwin High School and a celebratory halftime show.

While the annual parade was cancelled due to inclement weather, school administrators, board members, faculty, students and district residents filled the bleachers to cheer on the Jets varsity football team.

The theme for this year’s floats was “seasons.” Although students didn’t ride on their floats this year, the creative class floats were on display in the high school’s gymnasium.

After performances by the high school’s cheerleading and kickline teams, halftime celebrations concluded with the crowning of the homecoming king Czarnie Peraz and queen Leila Fernando. Additionally, longtime East Meadow High School Athletic Director/Health and Physical Education Chairperson Kevin Regan was recognized during halftime for his years of service.

The East Meadow Jets varsity football team capped off homecoming with a 45-6 victory over the Baldwin Bruins. The pride was undeniable and the district thanks all supporters, fellow students and administrators for showing their support at the homecoming game and halftime celebration.
