"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
