Etcetera for April 2026
This is a reprint of an article in the Hicksville High School Alumni Foundation, Inc. Facebook page, posted by Ted Urban.
To the Hicksville Comet Community: I want to personally thank you for coming out to support this year's 'Sponsor an Apple' Program! We are absolutely blown away by your support – the community sponsored over 70 of the 90 apples presented last night! This special program honors our graduating seniors who fall within the top 20% of their class academically, and your generosity made it possible to celebrate their hard work in a meaningful way. Last evening, our academic scholars were proudly presented with their brass apples- a moment made possible because of your incredible investment in our students. Thank you for showing us exactly what makes our community so special.
WE ARE #HICKSVILLEPROUD! GO COMETS!
Note from Peggy Gill..."Great tradition that was first started for the Class of 1989 & that dinner was held at the Elks Lodge on Barclays Street".
