School Hymn

Sta. Elena High School Hymn
Lyrics: Mr. Elizalde Q. Cena and Mr. Jeffrey C. Trinidad
Music: Ms. Ria Regalado Yusi

In every waking before the sun
with all the fresh young lights of day
we feel in us a pulse that runs
to see the most radiant of days

A greeting of smiles and genuine cares
our hearts for words with will to dare
Our mirth with friends together we cherish
for the knowledge and skills that are obtained

Then by night when darkness falls
we ask God to guide us all
Discipline, good taste and excellence we uphold
Sta. Elena High our hearts to hold to hold

Our great love and loyalty resides
Our other home, Sta. Elena High we call
Even as we someday depart Forever we commend our dear
Sta. Elena high, dear Alma Mater
