Hicksville High School’s field was buzzing with school spirit as students, staff and the community came together to celebrate homecoming on October 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. Local children were also able to play on the 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 fairytales. The sophomore class took home best-banner honor for their “gingerbread man” design.
Comet pride carried over onto the field, with a varsity football game and spectacular halftime festivities including performances from the marching band and color guard, cheerleaders and the kickline team, as well as the crowning of homecoming king Gustavo Balaguera and queen Marina Morales.
