Alma mater and fight song
Alma mater
'We hail thee, Slidell High
By thee, we'll always stand
Thy truth shines a guiding light
Throughout this fairest land
Our alma mater, to us, you'll always be
We'll praise thy name so dear
Throughout eternity
Fight song
Fight, tigers fight
Down the field and show your might
Roar, tigers roar
Grab that ball, let's see you score
OH OH OH
Go, tigers go
Hit the line and mow them down
For you can't hold those tigers
Mighty tigers
Go tigers go
Fight, tigers fight
HEY!
