Can’t remember our Grizzly Fight Song? Here’s a video made by SLOCA High School graduate Josh Ronda, with the song (lyrics are below):
SLOCA Fight Song
Do you know what the ancients say?
Search for truth and beauty, too
We seek wisdom every day
To grow in virtue through and through
Stand and fight with me
We’ll have a grizzly victory
Fly that banner high
Join our battle cry
SLOCA, SLOCA is our home
We will stand in unity
Some say all roads lead to Rome
But we will make new history!
We will learn our whole lives long
Building our ability
Facing battles, we are strong
In courage and humility!
Stand and fight with me
We’ll have a grizzly victory
Fly that banner high
Join our battle cry
SLOCA, SLOCA is our home
We will stand in unity
Some say all roads lead to Rome
But we will make new history!
We will make new history!
We look forward to a sensational week full of SLOCA Spirit!
