Smithtown High School East will now be able to show off their athletes like never before.
The athletes will be seen under a different light now that the school has installed new lights on the athletic field. The new lights are up and operating and look great as a new addition to the field complex and school.
The new lighting will allow fall teams to practice and host evening home games for the first time. Smithtown Central School District Director of Athletics, Jason Lambert, said he is currently in discussions with Section XI, other school districts and officials with hopes of scheduling night games for the school’s fall teams schedules.
The lighting addition is part of the Capital Reserve Proposition voters approved in 2024. Proposition 2 to add lights to the field at Smithtown East High School passed by an overwhelming margin of 4,363 for the lights, to just 1,835 against.
