Alma mater

Honor to Huntington

Honor to Huntington
Now that our tasks are done
We shall remember the days we have spent
Within thine halls and
Ee'n now that we must part
Loyal in every heart
Honor to Hutington
We will be true

Amici

Our strong band shall ne’er be broken


formed in Huntington High;


far surpassing wealth unspoken,


sealed by friendship’s tie.




CHORUS:


Huntington High School, now and ever


Deep grave on each heart,

Shall be found unwavering true,

When we from life shall part.

High school life at best is passing,

Gliding swiftly by;

Then let us pledge in word and deed

Our love for Huntington High.
