Amityville Memorial High School

The sports teams' colors are red and gray, and the mascot is a Warrior. Amityville is the home of legendary high school football coach, Lou Howard. In the 1950s and 1960s, Howard's Amityville teams were nearly unbeatable. Bernie Wyatt (defensive back for the University of Iowa) and John Niland (offensive lineman for the famed Dallas Cowboys) were two of Coach Howard's greatest players. The school won the Long Island Football Championships in 1999 and 2007. The school is the home of the Amityville Warriors basketball team. The Warriors won the New York State Public High School Athletic Association Boys Basketball Championships four consecutive years (2000 to 2003). They were all coached by Hall of Fame coach, Jack Agostino. The Warriors also made the trip in 2004, but lost to the would-be champions, Jamesville-Dewitt. Notable Warriors include NBA player Mike James, Shelton Jones, Jason Fraser, and current NBA point guard AJ Price. ==Notable alumni==
