Happenings around Hicksville.
Class of 1991 35-Year Reunion
by Ted Urban
On Saturday, June 6th, 2026, the Hicksville High School Class of 1991 gathered to celebrate a major milestone: 35 years since walking across the graduation stage. The day of nostalgia began in the morning at our local staple, the Hicksville Sweet Shop, where alumni gathered for a quick breakfast and a chance to catch up before the day's main events. Following breakfast, the group returned to their alma mater for a comprehensive tour of the high school. The Class of 1991 extends its tremendous gratitude to current HHS Principal Williams, who generously gave up several hours of his weekend to guide the alumni through the familiar hallways and highlight the school's modern updates. The celebrations culminated in the evening, with over 70 graduates attending the main festivities. The night was an overall success, filled with rekindled friendships and shared memories. Looking back on 35 years, the event served as a perfect reinforcement of the timeless school motto: "Once a Comet, always a Comet."
The 2026 Scholar Apple Sponsorship has officially closed, and the Hicksville community showed up in a big way! According to Ted Urban, in the Hicksville High School Alumni Foundation, Inc. Facebook page, "Together, we covered 75 of the 91 apples - an amazing tribute to the educators and mentors who shape our district." The top 20% of the graduating class will receive an apple at the Scholars Dinner. The Hicksville Council of PTAs wrote on Facebook, "Your generosity helps recognize and celebrate our scholars in a meaningful way. Thank you for always showing up for our students and for making our community so special."

Welcome to December. When we think of this month, we think of snow, celebrations, Santa, lit menorahs, and kinaras. There are many celebrations taking place during this month. There are also many festivities taking place in and around Hicksville. By the time this issue has gone to press, a few have passed, but you will know to look for them in the local papers and online next year.
