In 2006, Bethpage High School was chosen to compete on The Long Island Challenge, an academic quiz show featuring Long Island high schools. Team members included Raman Madan, Karan Sabharwal, Jeff Katz, Vinod Kasturi, and Steve Secchio.
Athletics
Bethpage is widely known for their athletic program each year. Football was coached by New York States most winning-est football coach, Howie Vogts where he helped the teams with 5 Long Island titles, 3 Rutger Cups, and 29 Regular Season or Conference Championships. Besides being predominantly know for Football, Lacrosse is the second best and most popular sport. Each year anywhere from a handful to about a dozen of players go on to play collegiate lacrosse. Wrestling is another sport where Bethpage receives respect with the help of Coach Ron Abitelli who is entering his 32nd season who has coached over 30 Nassau County Champions &/or Finalist and 18 All-State wrestlers.
Varsity Kickline
The Golden Girls are a kickline/dance team with a tradition of excellence and the recipient of multiple awards. The team participates in the Kick, Pom, Jazz, and Hip Hop Categories (Lyrical and Team Routine in 2008). In 2006 and 2007, the Varsity Kickline became National Champions in the POM Category, and in 2008 placed 6th at the National Dance Alliance (NDA) Championship, where the team also placed 2nd in Kick in 2005. In 2009, the Golden Girls & Company won the Eastern Dance Association's National High Kick Title, as well as the All-Around Champion title, with a 2nd place finish in the Large Pom category. In 2010, the Golden Girls placed 2nd in Kick, and won the Large Pom title.
Lacrosse
The lacrosse team has had success throughout the years that is evident by players committing to play collegiate lacrosse every year. Since 2000, there have been over 20 guys that have gone on to play Division I and over 40 more players to play at the Division II & III levels. Here are some notable alumni that either achieved All-American or that have gone on to play Division I College Lacrosse; Todd Lawson, Tom Poggio, AJ Haugen, Rob Coscia, Dave Kelly, Brian Cerci, The Testa Brothers, Brian Soliday, Matt Rekowski, Trevor Michaelsen, Thomas John Michaelsen, Jordan Levine and many others. We have also had the pleasure to watch around 10 players that have gone on to play professional lacrosse.
