At the May 27 Board of Education meeting, Bethpage UFSD proudly honored the student-athletes who served as team captains for Bethpage High School during the 2024–25 school year. This cherished annual tradition is a heartfelt sendoff to a remarkable group of leaders whose dedication, teamwork and sportsmanship helped shape another successful year of Golden Eagles athletics.
Following a warm welcome from Athletic Director John Franchi, each captain was invited on stage to introduce themselves, share the sport they led, and talk about their future plans. It was especially exciting to hear about the colleges and programs our senior athletes will be heading to next year - a moment that filled the room with pride and applause.
Captains from across all seasons - fall, winter, and spring - were recognized, representing 26 sports programs and countless hours of hard work and dedication. Their leadership has left a lasting impression on their teammates and the Bethpage athletic community.
Congratulations to all of our 2024–25 team captains for your outstanding contributions throughout the year!
