ALMA MATER
Afar down thy halls we glimpse the golden future;
The sweet years of youth are swiftly passing by.
Though far away we wander, though far our footsteps stray
Sweet memories will linger of every passing day.
To thee, dear Alma Mater, we pledge our strength, our love.
To cherish and honor our proud school Chalmette High.
FIGHT SONG
We’re gonna rise and fight
for Chalmette High.
We’re gonna win for
Maroon and White.
We’re gonna make our motto
Victory,
And rain or shine foes will
Feel our might.
We’ll give a left and a right
for Chalmette High,
When Owls vie,
The feathers fly!
So cheer for the Owls,
High flying Owls,
Chalmette High.
