Garinger Alma Mater

Far above the toil and tumult

Of our city's growing might

Proudly stands our Alma Mater

Shining brightly in the light.

Crowned with wisdom, knowledge, and power;

Boldly let our praises ring.

Hail to thee, our Alma Mater

Hail to Garinger High, we sing.

Hail to thee, our Alma Mater

Hail to great Garinger High, we sing!
