Alma Mater

We love Wade Hampton High,Our Alma Mater dear.

The Red and Gray are colorsThat we always will revere.

The dusty web of timeShall never dim her light

For it is held aloft by thoseWho cherish truth and right.

As years may come and go,Our love will here remain,

Re-echoing throughout the hallsThe glory of her fame.

Our hearts will swell with prideAnd ever grateful be,

We pledge anew, Wade Hampton High,Our love and loyalty.
