Song
Original JMHS Alma Mater

Oh Madison, James Madison, early president of fame,
Our school is highly honored with his great, illustrious name.
His wisdom helped to plan and guide
Our well-loved country’s destiny
With liberty’s broad vision fair
That our nation might the greatest be.

CHORUS
Madison, we’re ever loyal to thee,
Madison, we will be true.
Our Alma Mater be ever cherished
By all her sons and daughters too.
We’ll sing thy praises, we’ll cheer thee onward bravely,
Glad for each victory won.
Oh school forever glorious,
All hail to thee, James Madison.

O Madison, James Madison, swept by breezes from the sea,
Thy hopes are all uplifted at the gates of Liberty.
The dawn of day reveals once more
The silver strand where men are free;
The sunrise path from thence doth run
A golden trail of light to thee.


Present JMHS Alma Mater

Madison, we sing our praise to you
We sing to Madison;
To you we will be true.
Mem’ries of days we lived within your walls
Tug at our hearts as we recall.

Madison, we hold your banner high.
Oh flag of Madison,
We’re proud to see it fly.
Faithful to you, Oh flag of Black and Gold,
We sing our praise to you.
