We are the Press Pride!

We strive for success, faithful and strong, we give our best

P. R. I. D. E. PRESS PRIDE! LIONS! LIONS! THE BLACK! YELLOW! WHITE!

We are the Press Pride!

We lift our heads high, mighty and brave we lead the pride!

ROAR!

"Lion Alma Mater"

Lyrics and Arrangement by Barry Martin Inspired by Gustav Holst's "The Planets: Jupiter"

I believe I can do anything, I set my mind to do

I'm a learning, dreaming student and a lion through and through

While I'm here, growing near, I am learning to see clear

There's a purpose, to the process, here at Press, there's no fear

I believe I can do anything, I set my mind to do

I'm a learning, dreaming student and a lion through and through

Even when I grew

a lion through and through
