The energy and school spirit were palpable during Floral Park Memorial High School’s homecoming celebration on Sept. 21.

The festivities began with a parade throughout the neighborhood, featuring the marching band, cheerleaders, Florettes, homecoming court and student clubs. This year’s “Senior Royalty” were Sarafina Alcime, Dahlia Bautista, Leah Carey, Allison Castillo-Buestan, Kriselle Changtongkam and Alexa Clinton.

Later in the afternoon, the stands were filled with excited students and community members decked out in red to welcome the Knights onto the field. The team faced off against Bethpage High School.

During halftime, the Florettes and the varsity cheerleaders performed.

Floral Park secured a win with a final score of 31 to 28.
