Fight song

Fight! for the conquering Cardinal,
Win! for the triumphant Gold.
Raise high the colors,
Carry them forward,
Victory is our goal!
Fight! for the pride of the Lobos,
Win! with our spirit and might.
R.M.H.S.
Fight! Fight! Fight!

H. A. Goodrich

School song

'Neath the Rockies snowcapped glory,
Rocky Mountain High
May the future tell thy story
Rocky Mountain High

On the record of the years,
By thy children's' names appears,
Both in triumph and in tears, Rocky Mountain High...
Hail Forever! Rocky Mountain High!

H.A. Goodrich
