Alma Mater

Our strong band can ne’er be broken

Form’d at Petal High

Far surpassing wealth unspoken

Seal’d by friendship’s tie.



Alma Mater, Alma Mater

Deep graven on each heart,

Shall be found unwav’ring true,

When we from life shall part.
High school life at best is passing

Gliding swiftly by;

Then let us pledge in word and deed,

Our love for Petal High.
