School song

Sung to the tune of the American Navy's Song, Anchors Aweigh, Winslow's school song is,
Stand loyal to our school

Our Winslow High

We'll all unite and send our

Cheers up to the sky.
Stand back old Waterville

Stand back or fall

We're coming down your way

And Winslow has possession of the ball. When the school song is sung at a sporting event the name of the opposing school, such as Gardiner or Belfast, is sung. Waterville, being Winslow's cross bridge rival, is the default school.
