Hicksville High School Dedication Centennial

On March 28, 1925, Hicksville High School was dedicated. When Ron Wencer's Ancient Hixtory article first appeared in November 2018, pictures inside the auditorium were unavailable online. We are including them here and have added them to the original article. If you can't believe your eyes about this history of Hicksville, go to Features, Ancient Hixtory, and read Ron's article, " November 2018: A History Too Conveniently Overlooked". If you live in Hicksville and hear of any Centennial events, please email a story and/or pictures to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
