ALMA MATER
Hail, Howard High School
We sing to thy praise
We will stand by you
Through all of our days.
On, Howard High School.
Our hearts you have claimed;
Fondly we love thee
And true we’ll remain.
School life we treasure
And friendships so true.
Proud in honor,
Our voices we raise,
Long we’ll remember
Our own white and blue
Lead, Howard High School,
And we’ll follow through.
Soon we’ll be leaving
Thy campus so blest
By God’s creation
In all loveliness.
Life calls onward,
Our fortunes to win;
Long we will cherish
The things that have been.
