School Song:

Faithful and true hearted, let us cheer for Ririe High. We'll revere her and defend her as her colors proudly fly. We will stand by her united, of her deeds we'll proudly tell. Our colors streaming, glad faces beaming. So here's a cheer for her, for her we love so well. Joyous and ever loyal, let us cheer for Ririe High. Let every heart sing, let every voice ring. There's no time to grieve or sigh. It's ever onward, her course pursuing, May defeat n'er her ardor cool. But united we will cheer for her, our own high school. RAH! RAH! RAH!
