Alma Mater

Oh, come let’s sing of Westlake High And songs to Alma Mater raise; True to friend and frank to foe, How dearly we love Westlake High. We shall strive to keep thy name Of fair repute and spotless fame; Time and change will surely show How firm thy friendship Westlake High.

Fight Song Fight the team across the field Show them that Westlake’s here Set the earth reverberating With a mighty cheer! “Go Westlake!” Hit them hard and see how they fall Never let that team get the ball, Hail, hail, the gang’s all here, So let’s have a victory!
