School Fight Song & Alma Mater Lyrics

  HOOVER FIGHT SONG HOOVER HIGH SCHOOL ALMA MATER  
  We’re going to cheer, cheer for Hoover High.
We’re going to fight for the green and gold.
We’ll stand behind the Huskies, victory we’ll see!
We will never fold.
Fight! Fight!
We’re going to show every team around.
We’re going to show ’em how to play the game.
To build a legend of our fame tonight, We’re going to win this game!
Go Hoover High School!
Fight! Fight! Fight!
Our fathers gone before us
Proudly built our school
To honor our colors
Strive in all we do
And in distant future
As we meet our goals
Then we can look back on Hoover
Dear old Green and Gold
 
   

 

The Hoover Band is dedicated to developing lifelong musicianship, whatever path our students may take.

Our mission is to give students the knowledge, skills, and abilities to appreciate and perform music in
the next phase of their lives while building a strong community of service to school, community, and each other.

If you park in the north east parking lot, you will NOT be able to walk past the building to get to the stadium. There will also be street parking available on Park Rd. Parents, please be advised to arrive with extra time to get to the stadium. Thank you!
