The strong spirit of the Generals Nation shone through the rain on Sept. 28 as the General Douglas MacArthur High School community gathered for the annual homecoming parade and game.
The parade kicked off at Gardiners Ave. Elementary School and went down Old Jerusalem Road towards the MacArthur field. Student Wyatt Garcia led this year’s parade as grand marshal, followed by the homecoming court couples, sports teams throughout the community, and the MacArthur and Jonas E. Salk Middle School marching bands.
In the gymnasium, seniors on the football, cheer, and kickline teams and the marching band were individually applauded alongside their parents. Students’ votes were tallied, and Jesse Seder and Haidy Culcay were crowned homecoming king and queen.
Conquering even through the rain, the varsity football team pulled off a decisive 21-0 victory over the Roosevelt Roughriders.
