School Song
Middlesboro High School is unique in that it does not have an "official" fight song. However, the school song "Loyalty" is commonly performed as a fight song at sporting events. In the fall, it is played in parades and football games by the marching band and by the pep band in the spring at both girls and boys basketball games. The song is modeled after the University of Illinois school song "Illinois Loyalty" (note that Illinois has a separate fight song).
We're loyal to you, Middlesboro!
We're yellow and white, Middlesboro!
We'll back you to stand
'Gainst the best in the land,
For we know you have sand,
Middlesboro, Rah! Rah!
So crack out that ball, Middlesboro!
We are backing you all, Middlesboro!
Our team is our Fame, Protector,
On, boys, from we expect a
Victory from you Middlesboro!
Che-Hee! Cha-Hah! Cha-Hah! Hah! Hah!
Middlesboro High School,
Rah! Rah! Rah!
Fling out that dear ol' flag of yellow and white,
Lean on thy sons and daughters,
Fighting for right.
Like men of Auld Lang Syne:
Shouting defiance,
Placing reliance,
Os-ke-wah-wah-wah!
Amid the broad green fields that nourish our land,
For honest labor and for learning we stand,
And unto thee we pledge our hearts and hands,
Dear ol' Alma Mater- Middlesboro!

Famous quotes containing the words school and/or song:
“I have often told you that I am that little fish who swims about under a shark and, I believe, lives indelicately on its offal. Anyway, that is the way I am. Life moves over me in a vast black shadow and I swallow whatever it drops with relish, having learned in a very hard school that one cannot be both a parasite and enjoy self-nourishment without moving in worlds too fantastic for even my disordered imagination to people with meaning.”
—Zelda Fitzgerald (1900–1948)
“By a knight of ghosts and shadows
I summon’d am to a tourney
Ten leagues beyond the wide world’s end:
Methinks it is no journey.”
—Unknown. Tom o’ Bedlam’s Song (l. 57–60)
