Herricks High School football field was alive with excitement as students, staff and community members celebrated Homecoming festivities on Oct. 28. The Highlanders faced off against The Roslyn Bulldogs in an action-packed game, ultimately defeating the Bulldogs by a score of 19-17. Throughout the game, cheerleaders and spectators supported their home team with lots of enthusiasm and encouragement.
The bleachers were filled with blue as attendees donned their boldest Herricks attire, and the band performed throughout the evening. The halftime show featured The Highlander 10, which honored 10 members of the senior class who were nominated by their peers and are actively involved in the school and community. They were Matthew Capelle, Conner Costin, Jaimee Huang, Sarah Huh, Hailey Ko, Anna Louie, Neha Rowzani, Halle Sacharoff-Goldberg, Catherine Su and Remi Zisselman. The students each received applause and cheers as their names were announced.
Earlier in the day, a pep rally was held and attendees cheered on their classmates and gave extra shout-outs to the seniors who were participating in their final homecoming as high school students. The other schools in the district also hosted spirit weeks and pep rallies in honor of Homecoming. Overall, it was an incredible experience that brought the entire school community together through a shared sense of Herricks pride!
