Alma Mater of Brashear High School Dear Alma Mater, We’ll pledge our loyalty to Thee. We’ll strive to be faithful now and through eternity. Thy love which led us through the years will keep our hearts so near; For our great Alma Mater we’ll hold our memories dear. Hail to our Alma Mater, Hail to John Brashear. We’ll always be faithful to dear John Brashear.

Our voices ring loud and clear of our faith and trust in Thee. Thy spirit hovers o’er us with both love and majesty. So as we travel on our way, Thy spirit shall exalted be. We’ll honor thee forever, Brashear we love thee. Hail to our Alma Mater, Hail to John Brashear. We’ll always be faithful to dear John Brashear.

“On behalf of the members of the Pittsburgh Board of Education and staff of the School District, I want to congratulate our graduates as they celebrate the successful conclusion of their high school experience. But ‘Commencement’ means ‘beginning’ rather than ‘the end,’ and so we encourage each student to continue to Dream Big and Work Hard so that they have the opportunity to succeed in all aspects of life.” Linda S. Lane Superintendent of Schools
