School Song:
Alma Mater - words by Edith L. Stitt, music by W. Raymond Randall
Verse One
Watching o'er the teeming city, Hail our High School
on the hill, Nearth thy clock tow'r we have lingered in
summer's sun and winters chill. Oft we've wandered through thy hallways.
Making friends so tried and true, In thy larger
halls of beauty We have thrilled to choirs in blue.

Verse Two
Mem'ries fond surround thy classrooms Where we've lived and
learned to serve, Daily bowed our heads in silence,
Pleged thy precepts to preserve. When we leave thy halls of learning
May our hearts and voices still Praise and Honor
Stamford High School Alma Mater on the Hill.
