Our voices tuned by joyous love
Catholic High, we sing your praise,
And to you pledge our loyalty
Through the length of days.
Our Mother fair you'll always be
Guiding us right,
To celestial glory
And the King of Light
Catholic High, your grateful daughters promise
Ever to uphold
Principles of truth and honor
As our lives unfold.
We will strive beneath your sparkling banner
Green and Gold to glorify;
Steadfast to our motto,
Viva Catholic High.
Alma Mater fair, we're proud of you,
And your graceful portals blessed
To keep our "light e'er shining"
We will do our best
Knowledge found in you a true ally;
Your name and fame
Echo forth your virtues
And your worth proclaim.
