We sing of Rowlett High School And this shall be our quest: To spread our mighty Eagle wings And soar above the rest. Lift up maroon, raise up the white Our colors, let them fly! For here and now we pledge ourselves To our dear Rowlett High. And as we leave these hallowed halls We'll spread both far and wide; The greatest gift that we've received - That Rowlett Eagle Pride!

Fight on to victory, Soar, Eagles, Soar; This is our battle cry: Be victorious forever more! Fight! Fight! Fight!
