School Song Lyrics:

Here's to the school where we like to go

Here's to the school that's the best we know;

Eisenhower, we love you,

Hip, hip, hooray for the gray and blue.

And we've had it on them for a good long while;

So let's be up and doing, it's our best rule,

Cheering loud and long for Eisenhower schoo. YES. IKE!
