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!

About Us
Chaparral Elementary School is located in southern California about thirty miles east of Los Angeles. Nestled in the San Gabriel Valley and the city of Claremont, Chaparral School is within walking distance of the seven Claremont Colleges. Chaparral Elementary School historically serves approximately 670 students in grades kindergarten through sixth. Chaparral is a high performing school with a culturally rich student population.
At Chaparral Elementary School, we consider ourselves a community of learners, which includes students, staff, parents, and business/community partnerships. Through this process we are preparing our students to be critical thinkers and problem solvers. Our students experience a balanced, rigorous, and challenging curriculum that allows for individual differences and fosters responsible citizenship in a safe and orderly environment.
