School Anthem
Every year at Rugby High School the students must attend what is known as Foundation Day, a day to celebrate the school and students achievements at which GCSE certificates, A Level certificates and other general awards are given out. Every year at foundation day, the schools' anthem as well as Jerusalem is sung. The lyrics to the school anthem are as follows:
Unto thee oh lord do we give thanks Unto thee do we give thanks.
Thy name also is so nigh,
And that do thy wonderous works declare (thy works declare)
The lot is fallen unto me, in a fair ground.
Yea I have a goodly heritage, a goodly heritage.
I will go forth, go forth, in the strength of The Lord God
And will make mention of thy righteousness only (thy righteousness only)
(Choir only)
For thou O Lord, has heard my desire
And hast given an heritage unto those
That love thy name
The Lord is gracious, his mercy is everlasting
And his truth endureth from generation to generation.
(All)
Unto thee o lord do we give thanks,
Do we give thanks. Amen

Famous quotes containing the word school:
“Nevertheless, no school can work well for children if parents and teachers do not act in partnership on behalf of the children’s best interests. Parents have every right to understand what is happening to their children at school, and teachers have the responsibility to share that information without prejudicial judgment.... Such communication, which can only be in a child’s interest, is not possible without mutual trust between parent and teacher.”
—Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
