Clifton High School song

Clifton High School we love you
And your glory we shall sing;
Memories of you we will cherish
And praises to you we will bring

Forever you banner we'll wave
With pride we'll hold it high;
We stand by your side Clifton High School
We'll laud your name to the sky

And in the books of fame
In gold we'll write your name;
We love you, C.H.S.
