school anthem

Campus fight song

A school anthem is an official song representing a school, sung at ceremonies, sporting events, and gatherings to foster institutional pride and community.

Unlike a national anthem, it celebrates the school's identity, traditions, and values.

Most schools have one, ranging from centuries-old compositions at prestigious institutions to simple fight songs at local high schools: The crowd rose to sing the school anthem before the game.
