The JLGIS Hymn

With the voices proud and sweet

We all hail J-L-G-I-S

For JLGIS, beloved alma mater of our youthful days

My childhood's early dreams are closely linked with thee

Sweet are the days of childhood

With friends we love and care

Your banner waving to the sky in blue and white

Thru all years will loyal be

Chorus

Long live JLGIS

Beloved Alma Mater

Alma mater dear we pledge

To glorify your noble name

We march together hand in hand

We sing together at your call

We are proud thee JLGIS

Thy mission is to develop the youth

In wisdom and ideas for truth

To be trained for life

And find their place in the world

Where everyone is an achiever

Thy name forever
