Alma Mater
Led by Chris Dollar
Above the roar of crashing breakers
Above the wild gull’s piercing cry,
We raise our youthful voices
As we praise Fishers Island High.
Hail to Alma Mater,
Guardian of the Light,
May your lamp of learning,
Burn forever bright.
Beaming truth to guide us,
Through the fog and fear.
Lead us ever onward
Alma Mater dear.
