Terrebonne High School is a secondary school in Houma, Louisiana, United States.

It is a part of the Terrebonne Parish School District.

It has been in existence since 1908, and houses grades 10-12; freshmen attend Houma Junior High School. It is the second oldest accredited high school in the state of Louisiana.

School Songs

Alma Mater

The words for the Alma Mater were put to a tune arranged by Hal M. Gilder in 1943.

The praises of Terrebonne High School sing. Our voices raise on high. Her glorious name to the breezes fling, 'Til echoes rend the sky. For noble deeds, for honor bright, For truth's unbroken sway. For victories won in virtue's fight, We herald her fame today.

Fight Song

When the fight song is sung, the ellipse on line 7 is replace with the mascot of the opposing team. Also, football on line 4 can be replaced with the appropriate sport.

Oh, when the Terrebonne Tigers fall in line, We're gonna win that game another time. For THS I yell, I yell, I yell, And for the football team I yell, I yell, I yell. We're gonna fight, fight, fight, for every yard, We're gonna hit that line and hit it hard, We're gonna roll those . . . on the side, on the side, Terrebonne High
