The high school’s most recent graduates had a chance to connect with their roots on June 19, participating in the third annual visit to Wing for a walk through the halls in their caps and gowns. Led by the Buccaneers mascot, the seniors paraded out to the playground, where they greeted the Wing kindergartners and first-graders.

“This was our biggest turnout yet,” said Islip High School Principal Michael Mosca, who developed the walk with Wing Principal Christopher Smalley. “The seniors were thrilled to have the opportunity to visit their former teachers and give out high-fives to the younger students. This has become a wonderful tradition that benefits both Wing and high school students. It allows our seniors to reflect on their entire educational journey and it gives our Wing students a glimpse into their future as Islip students.”
