South Side High School brought the energy and excitement of homecoming season to students across the Rockville Centre School District with a districtwide Pep Tour on Friday, Sept. 26.
Senior captains from each of the high school’s fall sports teams, along with student musicians, cheerleaders, and school mascots, visited all five elementary schools and the middle school to help build school spirit ahead of South Side’s homecoming celebrations the following day.
The tour aimed to spread positivity and excitement, while also giving younger students a glimpse of high school life and a chance to engage with student-athletes and performers. Participants took time to connect with students at each stop, promoting teamwork, school pride and unity throughout the district.
The event was organized with the support of South Side High School’s Spirit Club, school administrators and staff across the district. It served as a way to not only energize students for homecoming but also to highlight leadership and community engagement among high school seniors.
“The Pep Tour is a great event that brings all of our schools together for a common cause,” Patrick Walsh, principal of South Side High School, said, “to celebrate and show pride in our wonderful school community.”
