Students throughout Garden City Public Schools showcased full Trojan spirit during the district’s annual spirit week and homecoming celebration. Leading up to the annual parade and homecoming game, students participated in themed days such as “America Day,” “Tropical Day” and “Spirit Day.”
To wrap up Spirit Week, high school students visited the elementary and middle schools on Sept. 20, where they hosted lively pep rallies at each location. The high school held its own pep rally, where all senior athletes were recognized, with some taking part in fun and entertaining skits. Seniors Gracie Krawliec and Neil Curtis were crowned this year’s homecoming queen and king, respectively.
The district’s annual homecoming celebration served as the grand finale of the week’s festivities, beginning with a parade featuring class floats and representatives from a variety of school and parent organizations such as the PTA and SEPTA. The parade concluded at Garden City High School, where the Trojans football team took on Manhasset.
Halftime featured memorable performances from the marching band, cheerleaders and kickline team, fueling the festive atmosphere. Garden City’s football coaches were also recognized for their years of dedicated service to the team, receiving heartfelt appreciation from the community.
The evening ended on a high note as the Trojans secured a 29-14 victory, bringing home another win to cap off a memorable homecoming celebration.
“I am incredibly thankful to our school partners, staff and entire student body who made this year’s homecoming festivities so successful,” said Superintendent of Schools Dr. Kusum Sinha. “With the parade being canceled the past few years due to rain, it was great to have a full homecoming celebration and see our Garden City school spirit on display!”
