School’s Anthem
We all salute in one accord
This school placed in our trust
This legacy by those who strove
To meet the needs of youth.
Refrain
To foster and to raise
Our joyous song of praise
Our hopes and dreams in thee we place
The sons and daughters here.
Let us now leave within these walls
The mark of love and fame
That those who chance to pass the same
May feel entwined with thee.
Refrain
Be steadfast in what’er is good
And never cease to try
That unity and God’s true grace
Forever be our guide
Refrain
