A PMHS Tradition
October 24, 2019
Everyone in our town knows, “Nobody does homecoming like Pat Med”. It’s Patchogue Medford’s best time of year; where the community is brought together and class pride is high.
Pat Med was one of the four schools who won the School Spirit Showdown. We have our own segment on News 12, where the school will show off our homecoming and student government clubs.
What really sets our homecoming apart from all other towns is the healthy competition between the grades. Each year our school picks a new theme for the grades to base their skits, floats and class shirts for our annual battle of the classes.
This year’s theme was classic Disney movies! The freshman picked 101 Dalmatian, the sophomores picked Pinocchio, the Juniors picked Peter Pan, and the seniors picked Alice in Wonderland.
Homecoming is not even close to a one day event, it starts months in advance with planning and Raiderbowl. However, people really start getting hyped up the Monday following up to the big game because it marks the first night of float site and usually spirit week, however this year it landed on a Tuesday due to having Monday off for Columbus Day.
