On Monday Evening the Mattituck-Cutchogue community came together to help give the 2024 Senior Class of Mattituck High School a proper send off as they prepare for graduation this weekend.

The families of the graduates, friends and Firefighters form the Cutchogue and Mattituck Fire Department lined the runway of Mattituck Airport for a special Senior Parade and Block Party.

This event began 4 years ago during COVID-19 pandemic to celebrated the graduating class and has continued each year since.

Escorted by the Southold Town Police, seniors paraded down the runway in decorated cars and were greeted by lights and sirens and a flag arch created by the fire Department's ladder trucks to celebrate the occasion.

D.J. (Sam Strickland "DJ Chilly") was on hand providing music for the occasion, as families and friends gathered afterwards congratulating the seniors.

The officers and members of the Cutchogue Fire Department wish to congratulate the Graduating Class of 2023!

Thank you to all the parents and organizers of this event. We were glad to be a part of it.
