School Song:
Surgere Tentamus (We Strive to Rise)
"Surgere Tentamus"
We strive to rise in deed
And may our Latin motto
Help to spur us on full speed.
So it’s "Surgere Tentamus"
For Westridge one and all,
And it’s "Surgere Tentamus"
Our watchword and our call.
Yet within our Latin motto
Lies a hidden meaning, too,
And we’ll strive to learn its lesson
In whatever things we do.
So it’s "Surgere Tentamus"
For Westridge one and all,
And it’s "Surgere Tentamus"
Our watchword and our call.
