Dragons Soar at Homecoming

The community came out to cheer for the team, which defeated New Hyde Park 21-6.

A beautiful, clear blue sky was the perfect backdrop for Levittown School District’s Division Avenue High School’s annual homecoming parade and game on Saturday.

Prior to the game, clubs and members of each class paraded from Wisdom Lane Middle School, down Hempstead Turnpike and onto Division Avenue with homemade banners, and members of the homecoming court rode on the back of decorated convertibles. English teacher Mike Verdi also served as the grand marshal. The high school marching band and cheerleaders led the way as families and Levittown residents gathered on the streets to show their support.

To kick off the game, Alexa and Erin McCall led the community in the Pledge of Allegiance while Jaida Rivera sang the National Anthem. The halftime show was packed with performances from the cheerleaders, the kickline team and the high school marching band. During a special presentation, the Homecoming Wourt was announced, and Steven Reilly and Jamie Alvino were crowned Homecoming King and Queen, while Samantha Medak-Carreras and Douglas Melgar were crowned Homecoming Princess and Prince.
