"Our strong band shall ne’er be broken
formed in Huntington High;
far surpassing wealth unspoken,
sealed by friendship’s tie.

CHORUS:
Huntington High School, now and ever
Deep grave on each heart,
Shall be found unwavering true,
When we from life shall part.
High school life at best is passing,
Gliding swiftly by;
Then let us pledge in word and deed
Our love for Huntington High."
