The school district community joined together for an afternoon filled
with school spirit and football fun on Oct. 8. Members of the board of
education, administrators, staff, students, parents, and elected
officials, filled the bleachers for homecoming 2016 as they watched the
Red Devils score a huge win against the Plainview-Old Bethpage Hawks.
The district's traditional family fair, complete with games and food
served by members of various school clubs and elementary PTA, provided
entertainment adjacent to the field.
In a special ceremony prior to the game, members of the
Freeport High School Class of 1966 presented a check for $535 to high
school principal Linda Carter and members of the board of education. The
funds will be used to purchase a new showcase inside the school. During
halftime, the marching band and cheerleaders performed their
synchronized routines to precision, and the Red Devils then secured
their victory.
As a festive precursor to the varsity football team's
entrance, a parade featuring the Freeport High School marching band,
cheerleaders, members of the Navy Junior ROTC and the homecoming court -
prince Sebastian Pierre and princess Dillon Finch, and senior class
king and queen Domingo Batista and Kaitlyn Adames - made its way onto
the track surrounding the field.
Freeport's homecoming festivities and victorious football team contributed to the celebration of community pride.
