The Alma Mater goes:
Alma mater, good and true
The pride of Church and city,
We pledge ourselves to God and You
Under Mary's mantle blue.
Our faith is anchored here
With love that will light your years;
Staunch hearts will ever sing in praise of you.
Hail to you, Little Flower, hail!
Pride of all, our love will not fail.
Guide us and keep us safe through the years,
Bring us your children brave through all fears.
Onward we will march foursquare,
Vanguard of truth to do or to dare,
We, to you, our pledge renew,
Fore'er we will be true.
Little Flower, we glory to see
Your colors gleam in the sunlight,
Maroon for love and loyalty,
Snowy white for purity.
Proud, we your banner fling,
Exultant, your praises sing.
We march on strong with trust in God above.
It has one of the most award-winning high school newspapers in the archdiocese, The Theresian.
