# Official School Song

"Building Tomorrow's Leaders"

Words & Music by the Excellence High School Music Department · Adopted 2020

Verse 1
In halls of learning, bright and true,
Where minds expand with every day,
We gather here to pursue
Excellence in every way.
Chorus
Excellence, Excellence High,
Building leaders, reaching sky,
With integrity and care,
We show the world we dare!

Excellence, Excellence High,
Together we will never shy,
From challenges ahead —
We'll lead where others thread!
Verse 2
Through science, sport, and artful grace,
With teachers wise and hearts so strong,
We find our voice, we find our place,
In this community we belong.
Bridge
From every corner of this land,
We come together, hand in hand,
To dream and grow and understand —
That together we will stand!
Final Chorus
Excellence, Excellence High,
Our legacy will never die,
With pride and determination true —
Excellence in all we do!
