Copiague Eagles Soar To Homecoming Victory

Copiague School District celebrated homecoming 2026 with a spirited weekend of events that brought together students, staff, families, alumni and community members for a day filled with tradition, entertainment and school pride on Oct. 17.

The festivities began on Oct. 16 with a pep rally at the conclusion of the school day, energizing students and setting the stage for the annual homecoming celebration. Saturday’s events kicked off with a community parade along Great Neck Road. Board of Education members, administrators, student clubs, members of the homecoming court, class floats, athletic teams, school organizations, students and staff marched to the high school while the high school marching band and middle school band provided musical entertainment throughout the route.

Following the parade, attendees gathered at the high school campus, where families and students enjoyed carnival-style games and activities. The excitement continued on the football field as the Copiague Eagles hosted Smithtown High School East. The home team established an early lead and maintained control throughout the contest, earning a decisive 39-14 victory and giving the homecoming crowd another reason to celebrate.

Fans were also treated to a showcase of student talent during halftime. The high school marching band, step team and varsity cheerleaders entertained spectators with energetic performances that highlighted the dedication and spirit of the district's performing arts and athletic groups.

The celebration concluded with Copiague's Hall of Achievement induction ceremony. During the event, six distinguished individuals were welcomed as the newest members of the Hall of Achievement, recognizing their accomplishments and contributions while inspiring current and future students. Congratulations to this year’s inductees: Brian Burton Jr., Donna Curcio Farina, Dr. Mu-Tor Flood, Tracey Nixon, Moya Novella and Robert Waidler.
