Fight Song
Rocky was adopted as the school's fight song during the school's 1979 football season; during only its seventh year, the Mosley Dolphins were able to take down some of the region's toughest teams to finish 5-5. The team was compared to the movie character Rocky Balboa, and the movie's theme song was adapted to a march style. The school mascot, a bottle-nosed dolphin, was named Rocky in 2002 to be in accord with the fight song. The song is still played at all football games.Alma Mater
