Alma Mater

By the Mississippi's waters
Stands our high school fair
Louisiana's sons and daughters
Long shall gather there.

Lift the chorus, speed it onward
We will e'er be true
Hail to thee our alma mater
Hail to Hahnville High.

All the days we've spent together
Fondly we recall
Days of fair and stormy weather
Thou hast gladdened all.

Alma Mater, we adore thee
We will e'er be true.
Hail to thee our alma mater
Hahnville High to you.
