School song

We pledge dear Alma mater,
To wear your purple and gold,
To defend your name and banner,
As students did of old,
As our band plays on the side lines,
And our team fights on the field,
The spirit of your followers will never let you yield.
In all of life’s great struggles,
That any of us may face,
We pledge the same devotion, to bring you honor and grace.

According to tradition, fans and students are to make the letter "L" with their hand during the school song.

Fight song

And when the dear old Leopards fall in line,
We’ll win a game another time,
And for the Leopards we will yell and yell,
And for the Leopards we will yell and yell and yell,
And we will fight, fight, fight, for every yard,
We’ll circle in and hit that line so hard,
That we will roll old (School Name),
In the sod, in the sod, Rah! Rah!
Fight-Fight-Fight.
