ALMA MATER

Come stand forth Argonauts all

Let loyalty be our cry.

We’ll pull together, steadfastly forever,

We’ll all praise Garden Grove High.

We’re looking ever forward

Our best we strive to be

We’ll do what’s right, with all our might,

For Argonauts victory. Rah! Rah! Rah!

Hail Alma Mater

Let our cheers ring high.

Red and White forever,

Argonauts endeavor.

Hail! Hail! Hail!
