Alma Mater:
The Purple and the White:

With songs and cheers draw nigh;
To praise our Alma Mater

No school excels East Stroudsburg
We glory in her might
Proud of these her colors:
The Purple and the White

Then raise aloft that standard
And let its colors gleam
There's victory in those shining folds
And glory in its beam
For our dear Alma Mater
We'll battle for the right
True to these her colors:
