In advance of this weekend’s Homecoming game and festivities, Sachem North football players, cheerleaders, and Arrowettes took their school pride on the road, visiting several of the district’s elementary feeder schools for a special Homecoming walk-through.

As the Sachem fight song played through the loudspeakers, students lined the hallways waving, cheering “Let’s go Sachem!” and giving high-fives to the high school athletes and performers. The energy and excitement filled every corner of the buildings, creating an unforgettable experience for both the younger students and the visiting seniors.

Fifth graders were treated to an exceptional performance featuring the cheerleaders and Arrowettes, followed by brief remarks from senior football captains who encouraged students always to work hard, show spirit, and be proud to be part of the Sachem community.

The event showcased the strong connection between Sachem’s schools and the shared sense of pride that defines the district and community.

We can’t wait to see everyone on Saturday for Homecoming—come out and cheer on our Sachem Arrows!

The 2025 Sachem Kindergarten–Senior Walk was pure magic ...  a heartfelt connection between our newest learners and our graduating seniors. 

This newer tradition captures the symbolic passing of the torch, as seniors (Class of '26) high-five, hug, and inspire the next generation of Sachem students (Class of '38). 

Many parents and staff gathered on Tuesday morning to witness this special “changing of the guard.” 

Each elementary school hosted its respective feeder seniors from Sachem East and Sachem North, celebrating the full circle of a Sachem education. It’s a moment filled with pride, emotion, and community spirit that reminds us what makes Sachem so special.

Sachem’s radio station, WSHR, has launched an exciting new initiative called Sachem Snapshot, a weekly digital video update now available across the district’s social media platforms. Produced and written by student station manager Alyssa Tappin, Sachem Snapshot offers the community a quick and engaging way to learn about the highlights and happenings across the school district each week.

WSHR continues to innovate with storytelling and content ideas across multiple platforms. A consistent path of content innovation will be achieved thanks to a passionate group of students and educators across Sachem East and Sachem North.

The new series underscores WSHR’s mission of being “by the students, for the community.” Sachem Snapshot joins a growing portfolio of programming that showcases student voices while keeping families informed, connected, and engaged.

With projects like this, WSHR continues to set the standard for student-driven media on Long Island, proving that the future of storytelling is in good hands.

Watch the first Sachem Snapshot on Instagram, Facebook, X, or TikTok.

Just a couple of Sachem North Alumni competing at the next level! Dylan Friel and Ryan Durkin bumped into each other while running at a Division II XC Meet at Roberts Wesleyan. 

We love seeing our alumni chasing big goals, and when the stars align for them to compete against one another, it makes for a very special moment.

Did you know? At any given moment during the academic year, more than 200 Sachem alumni are competing in college sports. This is regularly one of the highest numbers of college athletes of any school district in New York.

When we say “We Are Sachem,” this is just another example of our students taking advantage of opportunity and reaching the next level. Onwards! 🚀
