Members of the West Islip High School Class of 2026 took a special trip down memory lane on June 15 as they returned to their elementary schools for the annual Senior Clapout.

As the soon-to-be graduates walked through the hallways wearing their caps and gowns, elementary students lined the corridors with congratulatory signs, cheers and applause to celebrate the seniors’ accomplishments and upcoming graduation.

The visit provided a meaningful opportunity for the Class of 2026 to reconnect with former teachers and staff members, revisit the places where their educational journeys began, and reflect on the memories they created throughout their years in the district.

The Senior Clapout was a heartwarming celebration that brought generations of students together and highlighted the strong sense of community that makes West Islip special. Congratulations to the Class of 2026!
