PHS Homecoming 2011, School Spirit Won the Day

October 23, 2011

Written by Mr. Tosto, Mercury Advisor    

The game didn’t go our way, but our team played hard and the day belonged to PHS. The weather was great. The crowd –  present students, faculty, alumni, friends, and family, all did feel like they were home. That’s the Peekskill High School Spirit.

Ask Security Guard and DJ Pete Peterson; he’ll tell you what the spirit feels like. Everybody is a winner. Ask Ms. Risoli, who shows unbelievable spirit,  organizing PHS Homecoming activites every year.  

Ask Principal Lazarus, who  has not only become one of our greatest cheerleaders, but  has also enlisted all of her granddaughters to become PHS cheerleaders as well.

Ask a 2011 graduate, who received a heart transplant last year. Miles came to the game and got a rousing ovation from the crowd.

Mr. Hahn, Mr. Del Casale, and the band, kept everyone’ s spirit up. King Kwasi Yeboah and Queen Genesis Martinez, along with their court, looked like Hollywood stars enjoying the attention of the paparazzi. Those who gathered in Depew Park yesterday for Homecoming were lucky and those who call PHS their home are certainly lucky- every day!
