Glory, glory, Man United,
Glory, glory, Man United,
As the reds go marching on, on, on.

We'll keep the Red Flags flying high,
You've got to see yourself from far and wide,
You've got to hear the masses sing with pride.
United! Man United!
We're the boys in Red and we're on our way to Wem-be-ly,
Wem-be-ly! Wem-be-ly!
We're the famous Man United and we're going to Wem-ber-ly,
Wem-be-ly! Wem-ber-ly!
We're the famous Man United and we're going to Wem-ber-ly.
In Seventy-Seven it was Docherty,
Atkinson will make it Eighty-Three,
And everyone will know just who we are,
They'll be singing 'Que Sera Sera'.
United! Man United!
We're the boys in Red and we're on our way to Wem-ber-ly,

Hail, Hail Alma Mater,
Hail to De La Salle!
We'll hold your banner high and bright,
A shield of green and white,
We'll fight to keep your glory bright,
And never shall we fail,
Hail to thee our Alma Mater!
Hail! Hail! Hail!
[edit] School Rally
Cheer, cheer and courage display ,
All you La Sallians join in the fray!
Send a volley of cheers on high,
Shake down the thunder from the sky.
What though the odds be great or small,
We all La Sallians win over all,
While her loyal sons are marching
Onward to victory.
Rise, boys and loudly proclaim
That you will never sully her name!
Let the hills and woodlands ring,
Lift up your hearts and loudly sing.
What though the way be rough or steep,
We unto virtue's summons will keep;
And if e'er our country needs us,
Loyal and true we'll be.

[edit] Secondary School's Classes
Classes were named S, E, L, A, N, G, O and R after the state of Selangor for Forms One through Three. Forms Four and Five classes were name according to their streams with ST representing Sains Tulen (Pure Science) classes and SS representing Sains Sosial (Social Science) classes.
Later in 2003, the Ministry of Education introduced a new elective component for the subject Kemahiran Hidup (Living Skills). SMK La Salle Klang has two elective options offered to its student which are Perdagangan & Keusahawanan (Commerce & Enterprising) and Kemahiran Teknikal (Technical Skills). This has cause the classes Forms One through Three to be renamed P to represent the Perdagangan stream and K for the Kemahiran stream to easily differentiate between these two streams.
When new Principal Rajdeep Singh was appointed in early 2006,he changed the names of all the classes to give it a true La Sallian identity. Classes were renamed M, A, N, U, T, and D for all Forms One through Five, an idea obtained from the school's motto which is GLORY GLORY MAN UNITED.
[edit] Sport Houses
There are five sport houses which comprises all students from Forms One through Five. The sport houses are named after former principals of the school. The sport houses which compete in the school's annual Sports Day Competition are Celestine (blue), Edmund (red), Harold (violet), Leo (yellow) and Philip (Green).
