Mepham Pirates rule on the field, and in school spirit
Wellington C. Mepham High School celebrated its homecoming weekend with a 20-0 victory over Levittown’s MacArthur High School during the Sept. 14 football game.
Annual traditions of hallway decorating, a pep rally and Pirate Festival were all part of the weeklong celebration.
At the game, performances included social studies teacher Chris Patten on the bagpipes, Alana Muniz who sang “The Star-Spangled Banner” and Mepham Bands, led by Anthony Brandofino.
The kickline and cheerleading squad performed at halftime as well, pepping up the crowd. Students Andrew Rispoli and Robert Fekete took on Pirate mascot duties, amping up the crowds throughout the game. Students packed the new Pirate Cove area in the stands.
The homecoming court was celebrated at halftime and included students Milan White, Xavier Sutherland, Jacob Sarduy, and Arisleiny Claisse. Noah Mach and Maggie Fitzgerald were crowned homecoming king and queen, respectively.
