Tentative Homecoming Date is September 28

Plans are steadily taking shape for the 2024 Homecoming Day celebration. Officials are looking at Saturday, September 28 for the parade, afternoon football game and halftime festivities.

Tentative planning is for a late Saturday morning parade down Main Street through the heart of Huntington village and up New York Avenue to the Big H Shopping Center and along Holdsworth Drive into the school parking lot.

The entire school community is invited to participate in the parade, which will be led by the Blue Devil marching band. Hundreds of students, parents and teachers from every grade level participated in last year’s march through the village. Free bus service will be available between the high school parking lot and the town lot on Gerard Street.

The Blue Devil football team will take the field against North Babylon at 1:30 p.m. for the weekend’s centerpiece athletic event. Halftime festivities will include the crowning of a king and queen along with musical and artistic performances by the Huntington Blue Devil marching band and the Highsteppers dance team and an announcement of the winning class float.

A district wide homecoming bonfire celebration will be held on Thursday (September 26) night at Huntington High School. There will be food, games, performances and a spectacular bonfire in the parking field.

Friday will feature the construction of four class floats along with an afternoon pep rally at Blue Devil Stadium.

As always there might be some surprises for next fall’s homecoming week. Student government advisors David Moriarty and Danielle Raguzin will be working with class advisors and student leaders on various aspects of homecoming week.
