Bethpage High School

Homecoming weekend was underway at Bethpage High School on Saturday, October 22, 2022.  The afternoon featured a spirited parade down Stewart Avenue with students, organizations, staff, administrators, and more showcasing their Bethpage pride! The parade concluded at Bethpage High School as the school community began filling the bleachers to watch their Bethpage Golden Eagles taken on the H. Frank Carey High School Seahawks.

Prior to the start of the football game, attendees visited the various booths outside the field where Bethpage merchandise was sold and raffles were being held. Community members mingled and enjoyed refreshments at the snack stand. Seniors on the school’s Golden Girls Kickline Team and Marching Band were recognized before kickoff and senior Graziella Conte performed the National Anthem.

Throughout the game, the cheerleaders showed their school spirit as they cheered on the Golden Eagles, along with the full crowd of students, alumni, families, and community members. During the halftime festivities, the marching band performed a Santana-inspired set with the help of the Golden Girls Kickline Team and Color Guard. The Golden Girls also performed their own high-energy routine, along with the cheerleaders. As a special treat, members of the 1972 Bethpage High School Football Team were announced onto the field. This year marked the team’s 50th reunion. The team was Bethpage’s first county champions, and they went undefeated.

The game ended on a high note as the Bethpage Golden Eagles took home the big win, 34-20.
