Their colors and the rest;
When they meet the mighty Belleville
We will show them why we're the best!
Rah! Rah!
We will back our fighting Tigers,
And no honor shall they lack;
As they win for Belleville High Schoo l .
And the orange and the black!
I graduated from Belleville High School in 1968 and know the School Song as:
Although Yale has always favored
The violets dark blue,
And the many sons of Harvard,
to the crimson rose are true.
We will hold our lilies forward,
No honor shall we lack,
For the Tigers are defenders
of the Orange and the Black!
, at the request of teacher, Steve Wilson and the Van Buren Public School Board set the school up with an educational access station which would come to be called WBHS Channel 19. The station is almost entirely run by students taking the year long "Channel 19" course with only the aid of one instructor and the occasional alumni volunteer. The station broadcasts the daily produced morning announcements, student projects, Semi-annual live
telethons and other events from around the area which are either taped by the high school's T.E.C. Club or submitted by parents & staff. The logo and slogan for the station were created by Brandon Mullins, class of 2003. The station its self is shown on channel 19 as well as HD
