Alma mater

(To the tune of "O Danny Boy")
O' Monroe High, your halls are brightly shining
From door to door, and on the campus green;
Our hearts will ere be true to thee
Dear Monroe High, to honor thee forever
Faithfully, through all the years
Your fame will last forever
To lead us on to higher destiny
And we will praise the green and gold forever;
O' Monroe High, Dear Monroe High,
We Love You So!
