A-JCHS School Song

We’re loyal to you, Community High
To the white and the blue, Community High

We’ll back you to stand, against the best in the land,
For we know you have sand, Community High
Rah! Rah!

*So smash that blockade, Community High
*Go crashing ahead, Community High

Our team is our famed protector
On team for we expect a VICTORY

From you Community High.
Rah! Rah! Rah!

Cha-He, Cha-Ha, Cha-Ha-Ha-Ha A-J, A-J
Cha-He, Cha-Ha, Cha-Ha-Ha-Ha A-J, A-J
A-J, A-J Rah! Rah! Rah!

We’ll take that dear old flag of white and blue
Your loyal sons and daughters fighting for you

Like men of old on giants placing reliance
Shouting defiance Oskeewawa!

Amid the broad green plains that nourish our land
For honest labor and for learning we stand

For unto thee we pledge our heart and hand
Dear Alma Mater Community High

*During basketball season, these lines change to:

So break out that ball, Community High
We’re backing you all, Community High
