The words to the school fight song
are printed in the student handbook
It has been brought to the attention of Jennifer Crawford that several teachers do not know the words to the school song. She sent out an email to the all the teachers that included the school song lyrics.
This song is played by the band at every home sports event; it sets everyone at attention and brings fans to their feet to clap along. The atmosphere in the stands of a Friday night football game would make anyone loud and proud to be a Ram. Most students know the chant like the back of their hand, but is it all that important for everyone to know it?
            Jesse Smith is in his second year of teaching at the high school and not only does he coach football, but he attended high school at Southeast Polk. He is present at every football game and knows the words to the school song.
When asked if he thinks it is important to know the school song Smith replied, “I do think it is important to know the song because we are a part of the school community and we as a staff should take pride in having school spirit.”
Abigail Cooper, a senior, and a Southeast Polk student since second grade, knows the school song even though she does not regularly attend sports events.
“Yes. It’s like the school’s pledge of allegiance,” said Cooper when questioned if the school song is important.

Overall, the song has been around for many years and will not be disappearing anytime soon. To prepare for assemblies, football games, basketball games, and just to keep in handy, memorize the school song today. There is fourteen lines in this short chant and it will be no hassle to remember. The words can be found on page 2 of the student planner. Rah rah rah rah. Team team team…
