"Through the years, oh dear Ramona
We'll remain true to thee
With thy banner flying proudly
For the world to see.
Blue and white we hold before us
As our song we raise.
Oh, Ramona, alma mater
Of our high school days!""As the shades of night are gathering
And these hallowed halls we leave,
All the loyalty shall ever
Lead to victory.
We will ever love and cherish
Thy name far and near.
All thy honor and thy glory,
Alma Mater dear.""Oh, Ramona, may you boast
A grand and glorious name,
We who love your colors most
To you we pledge our fame.
Hearts for you will e'er beat true
Though life may part our ways.
Memories we'll cherish, too,
Of dear Ramona days."
