Awit ng Mataas na Paaralang Victorino Mapa (VMHS Hymn)

"Composed by Manuel SP Bautista"

Mataas na paaralan ng Mapa, aming mahal

Narito kami't nagpupugay, pag-asa nitong bayan

Ang iyong pamamatnubay ay 'di namin malilimutan

Sa landas na'ming tinatahak, ang aral mo'y liwanag

Koro:

Sa tagumpay na iyong hangad,

Sisikapin, magsisipag

Panuntunan sa paglakad

Bawat gawa'y maging tumpak

At ang iyong pinapangarap,

Maging ganap ang pagtupad

Pag-asa mo sa bayang hinahangad

Ay sa amin nasasadlak
