The school song of Richardson High School

Whenever we hear the name of our school,
Our hearts do rejoice for old Richardson School.
Wherever we go, we promise to love thee,
For better or worst you’re the pride of our hearts.

In our work and in our play
We strive to hold our banners high.
In our sorrow and our joys
We’ll only love thee more and more.

Dear Richardson School, beloved Alma Mater
We’ll honor thy name ’cause you’re better than best.
