H. Frank Carey High School held a spirited homecoming celebration on Sept. 14, kicking off with a vibrant parade. Led by the Franklin Square Fire Department and Nassau County Police, the parade featured the Carey marching band, cheerleaders and the Franklin Square Warriors, a local youth cheer squad. The event also showcased an imaginative video game-themed float, with the homecoming court arriving in style in convertible cars.
Students selected Carey’s Athletic Trainer, Ms. Lynn Wille, as this year’s Grand Marshal, honoring her contributions to the school and community. The parade concluded with the crowning of Homecoming King Mark Shrivastava and Queen Natalie Osorio in the school’s courtyard.
The excitement carried through to the highly anticipated homecoming football game, where the Carey Seahawks faced off against Glen Cove High School. The Seahawks secured a commanding 40-21 victory, much to the delight of the packed stands.
Halftime entertainment featured electrifying performances by the Carey cheerleaders, the Pirettes dance team and the marching band. Fans enjoyed refreshments provided by the Carey Dads’ Club at their concession stand, adding to the festive atmosphere of the day.
The 2024 Homecoming was a resounding success, bringing together students, staff, families and the broader community to celebrate Carey pride.
