Alma Mater

The High School Alma Mater is our school song. It represents those students that have walked the halls before and it gives courage to those that will come after. Your alma Mater will never change. No matter where you go now and in the future, the Mayde Creek High School song will be your Alma Mater.

Mayde Creek High we honor you,
For mem'ries sweet and knowledge true.
Green and white, green and white, the Rams are always best.
Mayde Creek High in our hearts forever blessed.

(Listen to School Alma Mater)

Fight Song

The Mayde Creek High School fight song was written by the class of 1988 to inspire and motivate athletes and all students alike. The intent of a school fight song is to "rally the troops" so to speak and get the crowd behind the home team. Our fight song does just that. Read the words below and see if you can hold back the enthusiasm!

Go fight Rams! Lets fight tough now. Send that team right to defeat. Go Rams! The green and white forever are the best. Give them the Mayde Creek Ram test. Go Rams! Go fight Rams! Let's fight tough now. Send them to defeat. We're gonna win, win, win, Rams win! For the Rams are the best. Go Rams!
