On Monday November 3rd, Mr. Duez's sophomores will head up I-45 and visit Sam Houston State U. Thought I would post a few tidbits before our trip.

Alma Mater:
Hail to Sam Houston, School we love best,
Mighty in battle, True to the test.

Orange and white Will lead us to victory!

Hail, Alma Mater Hats off to you,
Ever you'll find us Loyal and true;

Bearkat Fight Song:

so fight on to the end.

Fight Fight Fight
