Chaparral School Song
Music and Lyrics by Lillian Brown
Chaparral, oh Chaparral, our voices sing thy praise,
Chaparral, oh Chaparral, throughout our school-filled days.
We shall long remember our classes' happy sound.
We shall long remember, the gladness still abounds.
Our flag flies high above the site, our school stands staunch and true.
Our colors glow in hues so bright, the gold and the blue.
Learning lasts forever; for that we'll grateful be.
Learning lasts forever; that shall keep us free.
Chaparral, oh Chaparral, we'll be forever true.
Chaparral, oh Chaparral, we are your loyal crew!
