School Song (believed to be written in the early 1900's by Ruth Duesenberg and another student)
There's a cheer from the stands and the bleachers as we show our loyalty.
There's a cheer from the students and teachers; we are tops as you can see.
Come and join us in song to our colors; red and black we're proud to be.
We are tops above all others; Garner High hats off to thee!
