Elmont Memorial High School students, staff and the nearby community celebrated homecoming on Oct. 29.
The day’s events kicked off with a parade down Dutch Broadway, featuring the marching band, color guard, school clubs, cheerleaders, homecoming court and more. Each grade-level created a Halloween-themed float.
Following the parade, the Spartans hosted the South Side High School Cyclones. With cheers from the crowd, the Spartans won with a score of 24-20.
During halftime, the audience was treated to a performance by the marching band. Then, the homecoming court was honored, with Ajayda Griffith, Najwa Patterson and Preston Pressoir being named as this year’s Homecoming Royalty.
