The words are song so often, some don’t really think about what they mean. Like the hues of purple that fill the stands or gym, the school song is not something really think about.  But after taking a little time to analyze the lyrics, the words are so much more than words and the colors are great symbols of the school.

Stand for our colors, means stand up when the football team runs through the tunnel unto the field, or when the next player to bat comes unto the baseball field, when the volleyball team spikes, when a player makes a goal for the soccer team, or when the ball flashes into the realm in the basketball game. Like when students pledge allegiance to the flag, stand when team members come out with their jerseys on. 

Stand for our school means, to stand up when a sport teams enter into their sports environment, or when they make a goal or accomplish something in the sports they’re participating in. 

White is for our rule means the school color white stands for control and leadership.
