I
In Zamboanga City there's a school in
the west
That stands proudly along by the sea
Where the breezes blow to make us
feel fresh you know
And the pure air comes in abundantly

In the year 86 that was June 30
When we did come to occupy its hall to

Its foundation day with less a thousand

Who had eagerly move its stone till dark

A good school like this one by the sea
We shall then join hands and hearts to
keep the torch
Of this beautiful school by the sea
